Notice of Privacy Practices

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO IT. PLEASE REVIEW THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.

Effective Date: June 26,2025.

This Telemedicine Notice of Privacy Practices (the “Notice”) is provided to you by Healthy America Telehealth LLC (HATH), as HATH or its subsidiaries and affiliated entities may be formed, incorporated, or operating in your state, and on behalf of independently-contracted, lifestyle telemedicine physicians, including your physician (collectively, “Physician”) that work with HATH. HATH is not a healthcare entity. It is a management service organization that performs marketing, business, and administrative services on behalf of Physician. For ease of reference, however, HATH and these independent physicians are collectively referred to in this Notice as “We” or “Our.” This reference does not and is not intended to imply any physician is an employee of HATH, or that HATH is providing or intends to provide medical or medical practice services in any form, all of which are exclusively provided by Physician in Physician’s sole and exclusive discretion.

This Notice contains important information regarding your medical information. You have the right to receive a paper copy of this Notice and may ask Us to give you a copy of this Notice at any time. If you received this Notice electronically, We will still provide a paper copy to you upon request. You can request a paper copy from Our Privacy Officer at (908) 455-8080, or you can access a current version on Our website at https://lifestyletelemedicine.com/privacy-policy/ .

We are committed to protecting medical information about you. We will use it to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure or request of it. This Notice provides you with information about your rights and Our privacy practices with respect to your protected health information (“PHI”). This Notice also discusses the uses and disclosures We will make of your PHI. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice from time-to-time and to make any revised notice effective for all PHI We then use, have access to, or control.

PERMITTED USES AND DISCLOSURES

We can use or disclose your PHI for purposes of treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. The following descriptions may not describe every particular use or disclosure in every category. The purposes of any given use may also vary pursuant to HATH or Physician’s role. For example, HATH cannot and will not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and therefore will not use your PHI for direct medical purposes. HATH will use your information, however, for billing or administrative purposes related to your treatment with Physician.

OTHER USES AND DISCLOSURES OF PHI

We may also use your PHI in the following ways:

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, We will make the following uses and disclosures of your PHI:

OTHER USES OF YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION

Certain uses and disclosures of PHI will be made only with your written authorization, including uses or disclosures:

Other uses and disclosures of PHI not covered by this Notice or the laws that apply to Us will be made only with your written authorization. You have the right to revoke that authorization at any time, provided that the revocation is in writing and except to the extent We already have taken action in reliance on your authorization.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to request restrictions on Our uses and disclosures of PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. We will not agree to your request, however, unless the PHI pertains solely to your healthcare items or services for which you have paid the bill in full and the disclosure is not otherwise required by law. To request a restriction, you may make your request in writing to the Privacy Officer.

You have the right to reasonably request to receive confidential communications of your PHI by alternative means or at alternative locations, including electronically. To make such a request, you may submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer (contact info below).

Exceptions. You have the right to inspect and copy the PHI contained in Physician records, except for:

Requests. In order to inspect or obtain a copy of your PHI, you may submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer (contact info below). If you request a copy, We may charge you a fee for the costs of copying and mailing your records, as well as other costs associated with your request. We may also deny a request for access to PHI under certain circumstances such as if there is a potential for harm to yourself or others. If We deny a request for access for this purpose, you have the right to have Our denial reviewed in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

You have the right to request an amendment to your PHI but We may deny your request for amendment if We determine that the PHI or record that is the subject of the request:

In any event, any agreed upon amendment will be included as an addition to, and not a replacement of, already existing records. In order to request an amendment to your PHI, you must submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer (contact info below), along with a description of the reason for your request.

Upon your request, we will provide you accounting of disclosures of PHI made by Us to individuals or entities other than to you for the six (6) years prior to your request, except for disclosures:

To request an accounting of disclosures of your PHI, you must submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer. Your request must state a specific time period for the accounting (e.g., the past year). We will notify you of the costs involved and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time before any costs are incurred.

You have the right to receive a notification, in the event that there is a breach of your unsecured PHI.

NOTICE REGARDING USE OF TECHNOLOGY

We may use electronic software, services, and equipment, including without limitation email, video conferencing technology, cloud storage and servers, internet communication, cellular network, voicemail, facsimile, electronic health record, and related technology to share PHI with you or third-parties subject to the rights and restrictions in this Notice. In any event, certain unencrypted storage, forwarding, communications and transfers may not be confidential. We will take measures to safeguard the data transmitted, as well as to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional breach or corruption. In rare circumstances, however, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of your privacy or PHI.

CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

We reserve the right to change this Notice at any time and for any reason permissible by law. We reserve the right to make the revised Notice effective for PHI and medical information We already have about you as well as any information We receive in the future.
