If you are in the Intensive Outpatient Program, all drug screens must be paid for prior to successfully exiting the program. RESTORATION COUNSELING / PSET Notice of NO-Show Policy Due to high volume of patient need, appointment times are very much in demand. If you have an appointment, it must be kept. If you do not call and cancel the appointment at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment, you or your legal guardian will be charged a No-Show fee. The No-Show fee is $100.00 and must be collected BEFORE your next appointment can be scheduled. We regret having to take this action, but there have been too many occasions when appointments were not cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time, thereby leaving insufficient time to contact an individual in need of an appointment to fill that slot. Please be considerate of others. The next time it could be you or someone you love in need of that appointment. Thank you for your help in this matter. 2

PRIVACY POLICY THIS IS YOUR COPY TO KEEP THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY. In December 2000, the Federal Government finalized Standards for privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164) The Standards are complex, and there is no clear language or information, which has been developed for professionals or for health care consumers to help you understand your privacy rights. I have done my best to understand the Standards and to inform you with this notice of your rights, limits to privacy, and my obligations. While these are government regulations, in some cases the ethical principles for Social Workers and Psychiatrists and /or state (Tennessee) regulations regarding confidentiality and privileged communication may be more stringent than regulations outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our psychiatric practice will adhere to the more stringent requirements for privacy. In fact, the Social Work Licensing Law and the Health Related Boards for Psychiatry provides extremely strong privileged communication protections for communication between a social worker, psychiatrist and client within a professional relationship, and this privilege is based upon attorney-client privilege. HIPAA provides privacy protection of your personal health information, which is called protected health information (PHI),.This is information that can personally identify you. PHI consists of three components: treatment, payment, and health care operations. These terms (and others) are defined below. DEFINITIONS PHI Protected Health Information. It is the information in your psychological record that could identify you. I and me - in this Notice, refers to your therapist, Brenda Hartgrove, LCSW and Psychiatric Services of East Tennessee, LLC. And Restoration Counseling Services. You and your - mean you and /or anyone who is legally allowed to act on your behalf. Individually identifiable health information - information created or received about you that relates to your past, present, or future health; or payment for your health care that identifies you or for which there is a reasonable basis to belief the information can be used to identify you. Authorization is a written document describing the information to be released, to whom the information is being released, the purpose the release is being made, the length of time the authorization is valid (usually one year) The authorization will be signed by you and witnessed. You may in writing revoke all authorizations to disclosed protected health information at any time. You cannot revoke an authorization for an activity already done that previous written approval was given or if the authorization was secured as a condition for obtaining insurance and under Tennessee law, the insurer is contesting the claim under the policy. Should you wish to revoke an authorization needed to pursue third party reimbursement, no future claims would be filed, and you would be responsible for all financial obligations. If you no longer desire that I provide the insurance company/managed care company with ANY information, you would also be responsible for those services that the insurance company refused to pay due to the lack of needed information. *Note: if the revoked consent involved an insurance company, any discounted fees associated with the insurance contract would no longer apply and my usual and customary fee would become effective. Treatment means providing, coordinating, or managing your care and related services including managing your care with a third party; consulting with other health care providers; or receiving a referral from another health care provider to us for your care or our making a referral for your to another health care provider. Examples include psychotherapy sessions, psychological testing, or discussions with your primary care physician or psychiatrist concerning your medication and overall medical condition. information Payment means activities I undertake to obtain reimbursement for your care. Examples include billing and collection activities, or providing information about your care to an insurance company that may be covering part of the cost of your services. Health Care Operations are activities related to the performance of my practice such as quality assurance tasks. In mental health care, one of the best examples of health care operations is when an insurance company or managed company reviews treatments records or our work to see if your care is medically necessary. This only applies if you are requesting that I file insurance for you. Other activities might include assessing the quality of my services and client outcomes; reviewing the competence or qualifications of staff or students (if applicable); arranging for my legal, accounting, and similar services; business planning and development; and the administrative activities of my practice. For example, I may compile overall statistics about clients and treatment outcomes, and if I do, such data will not include any personally identifiable. Use refers to activities within my office. Examples include using your protected health information in order to file insurance claims, schedule appointments, keep records and other tasks within my office relating to your case. Disclosure refers to release of information or activities outside this office such as releasing, transferring, or providing access to information about you to other individuals. An example would be sending your records to your primary care physician after you have signed an authorization for me to do so. USES AND DISCLOSURES OF PHI REQUIRING AUTHORIZATION As noted, Tennessee requires authorization and consent for treatment, payment and health care operations. HIPAA does nothing to change this requirement in Tennessee. I may disclose PHI for the purposes of treatment, payment and healthcare operations with your consent. You have signed this general consent to care and authorization to conduct payment and health care operations that authorizes me to provide treatment and to conduct the administrative steps associated with your care (i.e. file insurance for you). Additionally, if you ever want me to send any of your protected health information of any sort to anyone outside my office, you will always first sign a specific authorization to release information to this outside party. A copy of that authorization form is available upon request. The requirement that you sign an additional authorization form is an added protection to help insure your protected health information is kept strictly confidential. An example would be if you requested me to speak with or release records to your primary care physician. There is another special authorization provision potentially relevant to the privacy of your records: psychotherapy notes. In recognition of the importance of the conversations between a therapist and patients in treatment settings, HIPAA permits keeping psychotherapy notes separate from the overall designated medical record. Psychotherapy notes cannot be secured by insurance companies nor can they insist upon their release for payment of services as has unfortunately occurred over the past two decades of managed health care. Under HIPAA Regulations, psychotherapy notes means notes recorded in any medium by a health care provider who is a mental health professional documenting or analyzing the contents of conversation during a private counseling session or a group, joint, or family counseling session and that are separated from the rest of the individual s medical record. Psychotherapy notes excludes medication prescription and monitoring, counseling session start and stop times, the modalities and frequencies of treatment furnished, results of clinical tests, and any summary of the following items: diagnosis, functional status, the treatment plan, symptoms, prognosis and progress to date. (45 C.F.R. 164.501 (65 Fed. Reg. At 82805. In summary, any psychotherapy notes maintained, would not be considered part of a medical record, and are for my use only. I may deny access to these notes unless forced to respond to by a court order. However, medication prescription and monitoring, counseling session start and stop times, modalities and frequencies of treatment furnished, results of clinical tests, and any summary of diagnosis, functional status, treatment plan, symptoms, prognosis, and progress to date ARE maintained in your record, and access may be requested by you to disclose this protected health information. USES AND DISCLOSURES NOT REQUIRING CONSENT OR AUTHORIZATION 1. Citizens of Tennessee including health care professionals are required by law to report knowledge of child abuse or neglect to the TN Department of Children s Services (DCS), or other agencies/officials as outlined in TN statutes (e.g. a judge having juvenile jurisdiction, office of the sheriff, or chief law enforcement official of the municipality where the child resides. 2. Suspected sexual abuse of a child: Tennessee law requires that if there is suspicion of child sexual abuse, this must be reported to DCS, etc. regardless of the whether the child has sustained any injury. 3. Adult and Domestic Abuse: Tennessee Code includes provision for Adult Protective Services that requires reporting if there is reasonable cause to suspect that an adult has suffered abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such reports will be made to the TN Department of Human Services. An example of adult abuse (71-6-102) might be abuse that occurred in a nursing home, while domestic abuse (36-3-621) might be found in cases of domestic violence. TCA 36-3-621 is voluntary (versus mandatory) reporting and may be done without disclosing the name or identity of the client/patient. 4. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings: Communication between a client and a TN licensed clinical social worker is not only confidential and private, but also considered privileged communication. Consequently, such information can only be released if you have provided written authorization OR a court order has been issued. Privilege would not apply if you were being evaluated by a third party of if the evaluation were court ordered (e.g. child custody evaluations), but if such were the case, you would be informed of these circumstances. 5. Health Oversight: Should a complaint be filed against me with the TN Health Related Board of Licensed Clinical Social Workers, the Board can subpoena confidential mental health information from me relevant to that complaint, and I would be required to release that information. 6. Serious Threat to Health or Safety: If an actual threat of bodily harm is made against a clearly identified victim, or if you are threatening to harm or kill yourself, and if I determine or should have determined that you have the apparent ability to commit such an act and are likely to do so unless prevented from doing so, I am required to take reasonable steps to predict, warn of, or take precautions to protect the identified victim (or yourself) from such violent behavior. This is Tennessee s Duty to Warn law and is also associated with national security threats. 7. Workers Compensation: Although rarely applicable to my practice, in the event that you file a worker s compensation claim and I am providing psychological care that is relevant to that claim, I am required, if requested, to provide the insurance company or your employer and to you, a complete report regarding the claimed injury. Further, this report would address the effect upon you, the treatment prescribed, estimated duration of treatment, and a statement of charges. As noted, I have a specific form to be used for your written authorization to use or disclose your health information. Request this form if you want information disclosed to you or to another person, or contact me if you want to authorize disclosure after you have finished with your treatment. This form can be mailed to you or you can stop by to complete and sign the release form. Please note in the event a release form is mailed to you, I request that this form be signed and notarized in order to confirm the signature is in fact yours. BUSINESS ASSOCIATES DISCLOSURES HIPAA requires that I train and monitor the conduct of those performing ancillary administrative services for my practice and refers to these people as Business Associates. In my practice, business associates include United Community Bank as the office space is leased from them. They do not have access to your PHI, but I felt it important that we have them sign a business associates agreement. 7

CLIENT S RIGHTS AND PSYCHIATRIC STAFF DUTIES CLIENT S RIGHTS: You have a right to the following: 1. The right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your PHI which I may or may not agree to, but if I do, such restrictions shall apply until our agreement is changed in writing. 2.

The right to inspect and receive a copy of your PHI in my designated mental health record set and any billing records for as long as PHI is maintained in the record. 4. The right to amend material in your PHI, although I may deny an improper request and/or respond to any amendment you make to your record of care. 5. The right to an accounting of non-authorized disclosures of your PHI 6. The right to a paper copy of notices/information from me, even if you have previously requested electronic transmission of notices/information. 7.

I am required by law to maintain the privacy of PHI and to provide you with a notice of my legal duties and privacy practices with respect to PHI 2. I reserve the right to change the privacy policies and practices described in this notice. Unless I notify you of such changes, however, I am required to abide by the terms currently in effect. 3.
