Your records will never be released to any recipient without a formal, signed request from you or your designated legal representative. All of our staff will treat your records as confidential information. Rebel Med Northwest will not use or disclose your health information except as disclosed in this notice.
We will use your health information to provide treatment to you. For example, nurses, physicians or other members of your healthcare team will record information in your record and use that information: to determine a course of treatment, tests, therapies, and medications; to carry out treatment and to understand and evaluate your response to treatment. We may also disclose your health information to people who may be involved in your medical care after you leave Rebel Med Northwest, such as family members and other health-care providers.
We will use your health information for payment. For example, a bill may be sent to you or your insurance company. The information on or accompanying the bill may include information that identifies you, your diagnosis, dates of service, procedures, and supplies used.

Special Authorizations
Federal and state laws that provide special protections for certain kinds of personal health information (such as information about sexually transmitted and other communicable diseases, drug and alcohol abuse, certain mental-health services) call for specific authorizations from you to disclose information.
