Privacy Policy

Confidential Health Information

As individual practitioners and collectively as a clinic, we are bound by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to protect the privacy of your personal information.

Your personal information is accessible only by duly authorized members of our practice; and also with business associates, but only as much as is needed to process your insurance claims.

We take steps to prevent unauthorized access of physical and electronic records. All employees and care providers receive training on confidentiality procedures and are subject to professional censure and/or discipline for any violation of our written privacy policies.

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements and is expressly made part of the information contained in the theraBridge Privacy Policy and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.
