Privacy Policy

Clear Path Psychiatry PLLC ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal and health information. We comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

We may collect information necessary to provide care and operate our practice, including:

• Personal identifiers such as name, email address, and phone number
• Health information relevant to psychiatric care
• Insurance and billing information
• Limited technical information related to website usage, such as browser type or IP address

Your information may be used to:

• Provide psychiatric services
• Communicate with you about your care
• Schedule and manage appointments

We do not sell or rent personal or health information.

As a covered healthcare entity under HIPAA, Clear Path Psychiatry maintains a Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) describing how your protected health information (PHI) may be used and disclosed. A copy of the NPP is provided at your first appointment and available upon request.

We use and disclose PHI only as permitted or required by law, including for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations.

Our website may collect limited non-identifiable technical data for operational purposes, including analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This data is not linked to your health records and is not used to identify individuals.

We do not use website data for advertising targeting and do not share it with third parties for commercial purposes.

We use third-party platforms for scheduling, billing, and patient communication, including our electronic medical records system (Tebra). These platforms are HIPAA-compliant and operate under Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with Clear Path Psychiatry.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction — consistent with HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

Under HIPAA, you have rights regarding your protected health information, including the right to:

• Access and obtain a copy of your health records
• Request amendments to inaccurate or incomplete records
• Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures
• Receive an accounting of disclosures of your PHI
• File a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, contact our office using the information below.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with Clear Path Psychiatry directly or with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
