Section 2: HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Effective Date: March 2026
Georgia Health Imaging LLC (“GHI,” “we,” “us”) is required by federal law – specifically the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) – to maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information (PHI), to provide you with this Notice of Privacy Practices, and to abide by the terms of this Notice currently in effect.
What Is Protected Health Information (PHI)?
PHI is any individually identifiable information that relates to your past, present, or future physical health or condition, the provision of healthcare to you, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of healthcare to you. This includes your name, address, dates of service, diagnosis codes, imaging results, and insurance information when combined with health data.
How We May Use and Disclose Your PHI Without Your Authorization
Federal law permits us to use and disclose your PHI for the following purposes without your written authorization:
Treatment
We may use or share your PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your diagnostic imaging care. For example, we may share your imaging results and radiologist report with your referring physician or a specialist involved in your care.
Payment
We may use or share your PHI to bill and collect payment for services provided. For example, we may submit your diagnosis and procedure codes to your health insurance company to process a claim on your behalf.
Healthcare Operations
We may use your PHI to support our internal operations, including quality improvement activities, staff training, compliance reviews, and administrative functions.
Other Permitted or Required Disclosures
We may also disclose your PHI without your authorization in these circumstances, as required or permitted by law:
- When required by federal, state, or local law
- For public health activities (e.g., reporting communicable diseases to the Georgia Department of Public Health)
- To report suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence to appropriate authorities
- For health oversight activities such as government audits or inspections
- In response to a court order, subpoena, or other lawful legal process
- To law enforcement officials within limits set by law
- To coroners, medical examiners, or funeral directors as necessary
- For organ and tissue donation purposes if you have indicated such wishes
- To avert a serious and imminent threat to health or safety
- For national security or intelligence activities as authorized by law
- To our Business Associates (third-party vendors under written contract who help us operate – all are required to protect your PHI under HIPAA)
Note: Certain categories of information – such as substance use disorder records, HIV/AIDS status, and mental health records – receive additional protections under federal and Georgia state law and will only be disclosed as strictly permitted.
Uses and Disclosures That Require Your Written Authorization
We will only use or disclose your PHI for the following purposes with your explicit written authorization:
- Marketing communications about products or services
- Sale of your PHI to any third party
- Any use or disclosure not described in this Notice
You may revoke your written authorization at any time by notifying us in writing. The revocation will apply going forward; it cannot undo disclosures already made in reliance on your authorization.
Uses and Disclosures With Your Opportunity to Object
We may share your PHI with family members, close friends, or others you identify as being involved in your care or payment for your care – unless you tell us not to. If you are incapacitated or in an emergency situation, we may share PHI with those involved in your care based on professional judgment of your best interests.
Your Rights Regarding Your PHI
You have the following rights with respect to your Protected Health Information:
1. Right to Request Restrictions
You may request that we limit how we use or disclose your PHI. We are not required to agree to all requests, but we must honor your request if you ask us not to disclose PHI to your health plan for services you paid for entirely out of pocket.
2. Right to Request Confidential Communications
You may ask us to contact you in a specific way (e.g., by mail only, or at a specific phone number). We will accommodate reasonable requests.
3. Right to Access Your Records
You may inspect and request copies of your medical records, imaging reports, and billing records. We may charge a reasonable fee for copies. Requests may be denied in limited circumstances, and you may request a review of any denial.
4. Right to Request Amendments
If you believe your PHI is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request a correction. We may deny the request if we believe the information is accurate and complete, in which case you may submit a written statement of disagreement to be placed in your file.
5. Right to an Accounting of Disclosures
You may request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made in the past six (6) years, excluding disclosures for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. Your first request in any 12-month period is free; additional requests may be subject to a reasonable fee.
6. Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice
You may request a printed copy of this Notice at any time, even if you previously agreed to receive it electronically.
7. Right to Be Notified of a Breach
If your unsecured PHI is accessed, used, or disclosed in a way that compromises its privacy or security, we are required by law to notify you of the breach.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us in writing using the contact information below.
