Privacy Policy

PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

Medihere is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA''), however, Medihere (as defined in our Terms of Use) may be a “covered entity” and, solely in its role providing administrative services to the DoctorHere, Medihere may be a “business associate” of the DoctorHere. Therefore, DoctorHere and, solely in its role as a business associate, Medihere, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to DoctorHere. PHI does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA (“De-Identified Health Information''), and does not include information that you submit to Medihere for purposes other than supporting and facilitating your relationship with Providers.

 

Under HIPAA, a “covered entity” is required to provide their patients a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how the covered entity uses and discloses “protected health information” (“PHI”). As a result, DoctorHere has adopted and, if you become a patient of the DoctorHere, has separately provided or will provide to you a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how the DoctorHere may use or disclose your PHI (the “DoctorHere Notice of Privacy Practices”).

 

HIPAA also requires a covered entity to obtain a patient authorization that satisfies certain requirements in order for the covered entity or its business associates to use or disclose PHI in certain ways. In order to ensure that the DoctorHere and Medihere are able to effectively provide their respective services to you and that you are able to utilize the full functionality of the Service, the DoctorHere and Medihere may need to use or disclose your PHI in ways that would require the DoctorHere to obtain an authorization under HIPAA. As a result, the DoctorHere, if you become a patient of the DoctorHere, has obtained or will obtain from you a patient authorization (a “Patient Authorization”) that authorizes the  DoctorHere and Medihere to use and disclose your PHI in certain ways that may not be described in this Privacy Policy or DoctorHere Notice of Privacy Practices.

 

To the extent that Medihere is in fact a “business associate” of the DoctorHere and is collecting, sharing, or using your information as a business associate of the DoctorHere, Medihere’s use and disclosure of your PHI will comply with HIPAA and any Patient Authorization. Any information that does not constitute PHI may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Statement.
