Notice of Privacy Practices Under HIPAA

Magnolia Belle Women's Addiction Wellness is a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations. As such, we are required by law to maintain the privacy of protected health information (PHI), provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to PHI, and notify affected individuals in the event of a breach of unsecured PHI.

What Is Protected Health Information? Protected health information (PHI) includes any individually identifiable health information we create, receive, maintain, or transmit in connection with your treatment and care. This includes information about your health condition, treatment, and payment for healthcare services that can be used to identify you.

These protections apply in addition to HIPAA.
