This Privacy Policy does not replace any Notice of Privacy Practices provided by Infusion Sciences, an affiliated medical practice, or one of your healthcare providers.
Some information you provide may relate to your health, symptoms, medical history, medications, treatment interests, laboratory results, or healthcare services.
Information submitted through a general website inquiry before you establish a patient relationship may not always be considered Protected Health Information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA.
When your information is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a HIPAA-covered healthcare provider or its business associate in connection with treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, that information may be Protected Health Information and will be handled according to applicable law and the provider's Notice of Privacy Practices.
If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and an applicable Notice of Privacy Practices, the Notice of Privacy Practices will control with respect to Protected Health Information.
