Patient Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us—and protecting your personal health information is something we take seriously.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for your medical information and gives you specific rights regarding how that information is used and shared. In plain terms, it ensures your health information stays private while still allowing us to use it appropriately to provide care, coordinate treatment, and handle necessary administrative and legal responsibilities.
The rule is designed to strike a balance:
strong privacy protections without getting in the way of good medical care.
How We Protect Your Information
The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare providers to use multiple safeguards to protect electronic health information. At Boca Jaw Surgery, this includes:
-
Administrative safeguards – clear policies, staff training, and oversight
-
Physical safeguards – secure offices and controlled access to records
-
Technical safeguards – secure systems that protect electronic data
Together, these measures help ensure your information remains confidential, accurate, and available only to those who need it.
In Short
Your information is:
-
Used only for appropriate care and necessary operations
-
Protected by federal law and multiple layers of security
-
Treated with the same care and respect as you are
If you ever have questions about your privacy or your rights under HIPAA, our team is happy to help explain—clearly and calmly.
