4. Your Rights Under HIPAA
As a patient of Amazing Meds, you have the following rights regarding your Protected Health Information:
Right to Access: You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of your PHI maintained in our records, including medical records, billing records, and other records used to make decisions about your care. We will provide copies within 30 days of your written request. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copies.
Right to Amend: You have the right to request that we amend your PHI if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete. We may deny your request in certain circumstances (for example, if the information was not created by us, or if we determine the information is accurate). If denied, you may submit a statement of disagreement that will be included with your records.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to request a list of certain disclosures we have made of your PHI. This accounting will not include disclosures made for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, or disclosures you authorized in writing. We will provide one accounting per 12-month period at no charge.
Right to Request Restrictions: You have the right to request that we restrict how we use or disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. We are not required to agree to your request, except: if you pay for a service entirely out of pocket, you may request that we not disclose that information to your health plan, and we must honor that request.
Right to Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that we communicate with you about your health matters in a certain way or at a certain location. For example, you may request that we contact you only by email or at a specific phone number. We will accommodate all reasonable requests.
Right to a Paper Copy: You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices at any time, even if you previously agreed to receive it electronically.
Right to Be Notified of a Breach: You have the right to be notified if a breach of your unsecured PHI occurs (see Breach Notification section below).
Right to File a Complaint: If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with our Privacy Officer (contact information below) or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights at www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/ or by calling 1-877-696-6775. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
5. Protected Health Information (PHI)
Protected Health Information is any individually identifiable health information that we create, receive, maintain, or transmit. This includes information in any form — electronic, paper, or oral — that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, the provision of healthcare to you, or payment for healthcare.
We apply the “minimum necessary” standard when using or disclosing PHI. This means we limit the PHI we use, disclose, or request to the minimum amount necessary to accomplish the intended purpose, except for disclosures for treatment purposes.
We may use de-identified health information (information that cannot reasonably identify you) for research, analytics, and quality improvement purposes. De-identified data is not subject to HIPAA restrictions.
6. Telehealth-Specific Privacy Practices
Because Amazing Meds delivers healthcare via telehealth, the following additional practices apply:
-
All video consultations are conducted through HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platforms. We do not record video consultations without your explicit consent. Providers conduct consultations from private, secure locations.
-
Prescriptions are transmitted electronically to pharmacies using encrypted, HIPAA-compliant systems. Your prescription information is shared only with the dispensing pharmacy.
-
Patient-provider messaging occurs through our secure, HIPAA-compliant patient portal. Do not send PHI via unsecured email, text message, or social media.
-
If enrolled in remote patient monitoring programs, health data transmitted from devices (blood pressure cuffs, scales) is encrypted and stored securely. This data is treated as PHI and subject to all protections in this policy.
-
Your IP address or stated location may be used to verify you are in a state where we are licensed to provide services.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and user experience.
Essential Cookies: Required for site functionality (login, forms, security).
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics).
Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads).
Important: In compliance with HHS guidance (December 2022, updated March 2024), we do not use tracking technologies (pixels, session replay tools) on pages where PHI is collected, including patient intake forms, patient portals, and appointment scheduling pages. Marketing pixels are limited to informational pages only.
8. Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information:
-
All PHI is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
-
Role-based access controls with unique user credentials for all staff
-
All access to PHI is logged and regularly reviewed via audit trails
-
All workforce members complete HIPAA privacy and security training annually
-
Electronic systems are housed in secure, access-controlled facilities
-
We conduct periodic risk assessments as required by the HIPAA Security Rule
No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Breach Notification
In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, we will:
-
Notify affected individuals in writing within 60 days of discovering the breach
-
Notify the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as required by law
-
Notify prominent media outlets if the breach affects more than 500 residents of a state or jurisdiction
-
Include in our notification: a description of the breach, the types of information involved, steps you should take to protect yourself, what we are doing to investigate and mitigate the breach, and contact information for questions
10. State-Specific Rights
Colorado (Our Home State): Under the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), you have the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of your personal data. You have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling.
California: Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of sale. Note: PHI governed by HIPAA is exempt from CCPA.
We comply with all applicable state health privacy laws, including those that may provide greater protection than HIPAA.
11. Children’s Privacy
Amazing Meds does not knowingly provide telehealth services to individuals under the age of 18 without parental or guardian consent. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 18 without proper consent, we will delete that information promptly.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on our website with a new “Last Updated” date and notify patients via email of significant changes. We will not retroactively apply changes to reduce your rights without your written authorization.
13. We Do Not Sell Your Information
Amazing Meds does not sell your personal information or Protected Health Information to any third party, for any purpose, under any circumstances.
