Patient information is shared across the Privia ACE/OHCA for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations related to the ACE/OHCA. Although each care center is legally separate and responsible for its own acts, Privia coordinates privacy practices among the Privia care centers. Legally separate covered entities that are affiliated may designate themselves as a single covered entity or ACE for purposes of the HIPAA privacy rule.
Privia providers have agreed to follow the terms of this Notice when providing services through Privia. An OHCA is a clinically integrated care setting in which patients may receive care from multiple providers who share a common set of privacy practices.
For the purposes of complying with federal privacy and security requirements, the above-described entities have designated themselves as an ACE and/or OHCA. Your provider is part of an Affiliated Covered Entity and/or Organized Health Care Arrangement (OHCA) by virtue of his or her affiliation with a member of the Privia Medical Group or Texas Health Care family, Health First Medical Group, Health First Privia Medical Group, Premier Medical Group, Privia Medical Group Tennessee and/or a Privia Quality Network (Privia Health’s Clinically Integrated Networks and Accountable Care Organizations) (collectively these entities are referred to as “Privia”). You may request a copy of our most current Notice at any time. We will post a copy of our current Notice online at /HIPAA and on all Privia care center websites. Any revision or amendment to this notice will be effective for all of your records that we created or maintained in the past and for any of your records that we may create or maintain in the future. We reserve the right to revise or amend this Notice at any time. The terms of this notice apply to all your PHI created or maintained by Privia. “Protected Health Information” (“PHI”) means information that identifies you individually including demographic information, and information that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition and/or related health care services. It also describes your rights to access and control your Protected Health Information. Rather it describes how we, our Business Associates, and their subcontractors may use and disclose your Protected Health Information to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations, and for other purposes as permitted or required by law. This Notice of Privacy Practices is NOT an authorization. We must also provide you with the following important information: (a) how we may use and disclose your health information (b) your privacy rights and (c) our obligations concerning the use and disclosure of your health information. We are required by law to (i) maintain the privacy of your health information (ii) provide you with this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your health information (iii) follow the terms of the notice of privacy practices currently in effect and (iv) notify you if there is a breach of your health information.
