Health information
Notice of Privacy Practices
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Effective October 9, 2026
Our responsibilities
Breakroom Therapy is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of protected health information, provide this notice of its legal duties and privacy practices, notify affected individuals following a breach of unsecured protected health information, and follow the notice currently in effect.
How health information may be used and disclosed
Information may be used or disclosed for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. Examples include coordinating care with another provider when permitted, billing for services, and conducting practice operations such as quality review and administration.
Information may also be used or disclosed when permitted or required by law, including for public health and safety activities, reports of suspected abuse or neglect, health oversight, judicial or administrative proceedings, law enforcement purposes, workers’ compensation, and efforts to avert a serious threat to health or safety. More protective California law will be followed when it applies.
Other uses and disclosures—including most uses of psychotherapy notes, marketing disclosures, or a sale of protected health information—will be made only with written authorization when authorization is required. You may revoke an authorization in writing except to the extent action has already been taken in reliance on it.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Inspect or obtain a copy of health and billing records maintained about you.
- Ask that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected or amended.
- Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures. The practice is not always required to agree, except where the law requires it.
- Request confidential communications in a particular way or at a particular location.
- Receive an accounting of certain disclosures.
- Receive a paper copy of this notice, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
- Choose someone to act on your behalf when legally authorized.
- File a complaint without retaliation.
Changes to this notice
Breakroom Therapy may change the terms of this notice and apply the revised notice to health information already maintained as permitted by law. A current version will be available upon request and, when applicable, posted on this website.
