Uses and Disclosures
Sagely Health may collect PHI for use as described herein. The information will be used and disclosed in providing Sagely Health services (the “Services”). Sagely Health will handle your PHI in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and all related federal and state rules and regulations, as well as the provisions of this Notice.
Sagely Health may disclose your PHI to associates and consultants of Sagely Health who are bound by agreements requiring them to preserve the confidentiality of this information, to use the information for providing Services. In some cases your PHI may be sent to an outside Party in order to facilitate the Services, including but not limited to diagnostic service companies, medical facilities, advocate groups, and consultations outside of Sagely Health.

Sagely Health will not disclose your PHI to unaffiliated parties (ie those not under confidentiality) without your expressed consent.

Operations
Sagely Health also may use your PHI to evaluate the performance of our Services.
Sagely Health may also keep, use or share de-identified PHI based upon information you have provided to Sagely Health. De-identified PHI is information that does not include your name, address, birth date, or other information that could be used to identify you. This de-identified PHI could be used for understanding trends in diagnostics, reference and research or commercial purposes. For example, Sagely Health could use this de-identified information to demonstrate the reliability of Sagely Health’s information management systems or to generate medical research information. Sagely Health would not identify you by name in any resulting reports.
Sagely Health may use your contact information during the course of providing Services to you as either part of the ongoing process or as part of an effort to follow-up with you after Services are complete. Sagely Health may contact you through the mail, electronically (e.g. e-mail, text, etc.) or by phone.
Sagely Health may disclose your PHI for the following purposes without your authorization: (i) as required by law; (ii) for public health activities; (iii) to protect victims of abuse, neglect or domestic violence; (iv) for health oversight conducted by government agencies; (v) for judicial and administrative proceedings after proper legal process; and (vi) for law enforcement purposes.
Other uses or disclosures about your PHI may require your written or recorded verbal authorization, for example marketing or testimonial purposes. You can revoke that authorization at any time but that revocation will not affect any use or disclosure made prior to revocation.
Sagely Health may disclose your PHI to you, to your representative or to other individuals designated by you.
