Effective: June 1, 2024
Last Updated: June 1, 2024
PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY. THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED BY ALOHA AESTHETICS MD LLC (“AAMD”), AND FURTHER, HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
This Notice of Privacy Practices (“the Notice”) describes how AAMD’s providers may use and disclose your protected health information to administer treatment, payment, or business operations and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. AAMD has elected to voluntarily and substantially comply with the standards provided in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). AAMD’s providers will share protected health information with each other for the purposes of treatment, payment, and health care operations, and as permitted by HIPAA and this Notice of Privacy.
“Protected Health Information” or “PHI” is information about you that may identify you, including demographic data, and that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, treatment or payment for health care services.
This Notice also describes your rights to access and control your PHI.
I. HOW INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED BY AAMD
AAMD may gather PHI primarily to share with its providers for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment, and health care operations. However, in limited circumstances, AAMD may use de-identified, non-personal information for aggregated, statistical analysis, improvement of the Services, and customization of web design and content layout.
Uses and Disclosures of PHI
AAMD’s providers are permitted to use and disclose your PHI for purposes of (i) Treatment, (ii) Payment, and (iii) Health Care Operations as follows:
For Treatment. AAMD’s providers may use or disclose your PHI to facilitate treatment or the provision of health care services to a Provider for purposes of a consultation or in connection with the provision of follow-up treatment. AAMD’s providers may share your PHI with doctors, nurses, technicians, students or other AAMD workers. For example, departments may share your PHI to plan your care. This may include prescriptions, lab work, and x-rays. AAMD’s providers may share your PHI with people not at AAMD including, but not limited to, referring physicians and home health care nurses who are treating you or providing follow-up care.
For Payment. AAMD’s providers may use and disclose your PHI with others who help pay for your care such as health insurers or health plans in connection with the processing and payments of claims and other charges.
For Health Care Operations. AAMD’s providers may use and disclose your PHI for AAMD’s health care operations. These uses and disclosures help us run our programs and make sure AAMD’s patients receive quality care. For example, AAMD’s providers may use PHI to review the treatment and provision services. AAMD’s providers may use PHI to measure the performance of AAMD’s staff and how they care for you. AAMD’s providers may share PHI with third parties who AAMD engages to provide various services for AAMD and you. If any such third party requires access to your PHI in order to perform the agreed upon services, AAMD will require that third party be bound to the terms outlined in this Privacy Notice.
Business Associates. AAMD may contract with outside businesses to provide some services. For example, AAMD may use the services of transcription, laboratories or collection agencies. Each contracted party must enter into a Business Associate agreement with AAMD, which requires said third party businesses to protect PHI that is shared with them in accordance with the restrictions outlined in this Privacy Notice. Furthermore, PHI will only be provided to third party businesses for the limited scope of performing required services to help facilitate treatment, payment, and health care operations to you.
For Appointment Reminders. AAMD may contact you to remind you about your appointment for medical care.
Treatment Alternatives. AAMD may use and disclose PHI to tell you about different types of treatment available to you. AAMD may use and share PHI to tell you about other benefits and services related to your health.
Authorization. AAMD is permitted to use and disclose your PHI upon your written authorization, submitted on our form which will be provided to you upon request, to the extent that such use or disclosure is consistent with your authorization. Your written authorization is required for the release of any psychotherapy notes, marketing to you of any products or services not related to your care or treatment, or the sale of any PHI information that is not de-identified. Please note that you may revoke or limit any such authorization at any time. AAMD cannot take back any disclosures we have already made with your permission. AAMD is required to keep records of the care that we provided to you. Be assured that any uses or disclosures not described in this notice will require your written authorization.
People Involved In Your Care. With your permission, AAMD may share your PHI with a family member or friend who helps with your medical care. We may share your PHI with a group helping with disaster relief efforts. We do this so your family can be told about your location and condition. If you are not present or able to say no, we may use our judgment to decide if sharing your PHI is in your best interest.
Research. In support of telemedicine and e-health initiatives, AAMD may use and disclose your PHI for research. AAMD will only use and disclose information for research if AAMD receives your written consent, or if a review committee that meets Federal standards says AAMD does not need your consent.
Genetic Information. AAMD does not collect or use genetic information in its treatment. Nor does AAMD use genetic information for underwriting and other related purposes.
Fundraising Activities. AAMD will not disclose your individual PHI for fundraising activities without your written authorization.
As Required By Law. AAMD may use and disclose your PHI when required to do so by federal, state or local law.
To Prevent A Serious Threat To Health Or Safety. AAMD may use and disclose your PHI to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety and that of others. AAMD will only disclose your PHI with persons who can help prevent the threat.

PHI collected by the web site is stored in secure operation environments that are not available or accessible to the public.
AAMD is not only HIPAA compliant but additionally utilizes the latest technologies to ensure utmost security. AAMD uses several layers of firewall security and different degrees of encryption for each customer’s sensitive PHI to ensure the highest level of security which meets or exceeds the requirements promulgated under HIPAA.
III. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
We are required by law to make sure that PHI that identifies you is kept private, provide you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices concerning your PHI, and follow the terms of this Notice currently in effect.
Your Rights Regarding Your PHI
You have the following rights regarding PHI which AAMD maintains about you:
Right To Inspect and To Receive Copies. You have the right to view and receive copies of the PHI used to make decisions about your care, provided you submit your request in writing. Usually, this includes medical and billing records. It does not include some records such as psychotherapy notes. AAMD may deny your request to view and/or copy your PHI in limited circumstances. If your request is denied, AAMD will inform you of the reason of the denial and you have the right to request a review of the denial. AAMD may charge a fee for the costs of processing your request.
Right To Amend. If you think that PHI AAMD has about you is wrong or incomplete, you have the right to ask for an amendment to your record. To ask for a change to your record, you must make your request in writing, state a reason that supports your request and submit it our point of contact listed below.
Right To an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to get a list of the disclosures AAMD has made of your PHI. This list will not include all disclosures that AAMD made.

If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will leave the AAMD site you are visiting and go to the site you selected.

We will post a current version of the Notice on this Site prior to the change becoming effective, as well as in the places where you receive the Services. The effective date of this Notice is on the top of this page, left-hand corner, under the title.
