Protected Health Information

When you create an account with Contour Health, you establish a direct customer relationship, allowing you to use the Service. Information you provide—such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number—is not considered "protected health information" ("PHI") under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). However, certain health-related information provided for medical purposes may be protected under HIPAA and applicable state laws.

Contour Health is a "covered entity" under HIPAA, and as such, we comply with applicable HIPAA provisions regarding the use and protection of PHI.

PHI may be used and disclosed for the following purposes:

  • Treatment: We may use and disclose your PHI to healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, involved in your medical care.

  • Payment: PHI may be used for billing and payment processing, including verifying insurance coverage and processing claims.

  • Healthcare Operations: We may use PHI for healthcare quality assessments, compliance audits, legal and regulatory compliance, and accreditation.

  • Public Health and Safety: We may disclose PHI for public health reporting, safety monitoring, or when required by law to report disease outbreaks or adverse drug reactions.

  • Legal Compliance: PHI may be disclosed in response to legal requests such as subpoenas, court orders, or government regulations.

Your Rights Regarding PHI

You have the following rights concerning your PHI:

  • Right to Access and Copy: You can request an electronic or paper copy of your medical records and other health information we maintain about you. We will provide a copy or summary within 30 days of your request.

  • Right to Amend: If you believe your PHI is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request an amendment. We may deny the request if we determine the record is accurate, but we will provide an explanation in writing.

  • Right to Request Confidential Communications: You can ask us to communicate with you in a specific way (e.g., home or office phone) or send mail to a different address. We will say “yes” to all reasonable requests.

  • Right to Restrict Uses and Disclosures: You can request that we not share certain health information for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. If you pay for a service or healthcare item out-of-pocket in full, you can request that we not share that information with your health insurer. We will comply unless a law requires otherwise.

  • Right to Receive a List of Disclosures: You can request an accounting of disclosures of your PHI made within the past five years, excluding those made for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.

  • Right to Choose Someone to Act for You: If you have given someone medical power of attorney or if someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your health information.

  • Right to File a Complaint: If you believe we have violated your rights, you can file a complaint by contacting us at reception@contourhealthrx.com. You can also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights by sending a letter to 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201, calling 1-877-696-6775, or visiting www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/.

Data Retention

Contour Health retains personal information, including PHI, only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and meet operational requirements. PHI is maintained in accordance with applicable laws, including HIPAA, and is securely stored to prevent unauthorized access. If retention is no longer required, we securely dispose of the data in compliance with regulatory standards.
