United States Medical Supply is committed to protecting your privacy. Therefore, United States Medical Supply (US Med) has developed policies and procedures to ensure that the information you provide to us through our web site or other means is collected and maintained in a manner that respects your privacy. Also, in accordance with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 US Med is required to inform you of its practices in relation to the protected health information that it maintains about you. HIPAA mandates minimum standards that a covered entity such as US Med must maintain in relation to your protected health information. This Privacy Statement explains these important policies and procedures so that you will be aware of how we collect and use the information you provide us, and how you may modify and/or delete this information.

Because your privacy is important to us, does not track or collect personal information unless it is purposefully and knowingly provided to us. In other words, we do not collect your information without your knowledge.

Should you request that we contact you to provide additional information about our products and services, and you have provided us with personal information so that we may do so, we will not use or disclose this information outside of US Med without your consent, unless required by law. In the event that you use US Med’s products/services, we may use and/or disclose the information that you provide to us in communications with your treating physician and/or insurance plans.

We may also disclose health information about you to a relative, a friend, the subscriber of your services or any other person you identify, provided the information is directly relevant to that person’s involvement with your health care or payment for that care. For example, if a family member or a caregiver calls us with prior knowledge of a claim, we may confirm whether or not the claim has been received and paid. You have the right to restrict or limit this kind of disclosure by contacting our HIPAA Compliance Officer. This will allow you to request the proper documentation to restrict access to your personal health information.

In any other situation not described above, we will ask for your written authorization before using or disclosing your personal information. If you have given us an authorization, you may revoke it at any time, if we have not already acted on it. If you have questions regarding authorizations, please call the US Med HIPAA Compliance Officer.
