Important Note Regarding Health Information and HIPAA
Body Symmetry MD maintains two separate but complementary privacy documents that work together to protect Your information:
1. This Privacy Policy governs information collected through Our website, marketing channels, web forms, SMS opt-ins, email marketing, advertising tracking, and analytics. This includes information You submit through Our marketing forms (such as Your name, email, phone number, and general interest in Our services) before You become a patient.
2. Our Notice of Privacy Practices (“HIPAA Notice”) governs Protected Health Information (“PHI”) collected during a clinical or treatment relationship — including information shared during clinical visits, consultations, telehealth appointments, lab work, prescriptions, billing, and through Our patient portal. The HIPAA Notice describes how Your medical information may be used and disclosed, Your rights regarding Your PHI, and Our responsibilities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is provided to You at the time You become a patient, is available upon request by contacting Us at [email protected], and is published on Our website. The Effective Date of Our current HIPAA Notice is March 1, 2026.
Information You submit through Our marketing forms is not considered PHI under HIPAA unless and until it is associated with treatment, payment, or healthcare operations through Our clinical practice. Once You become a patient, information collected during treatment, payment, or healthcare operations is governed by HIPAA and Our HIPAA Notice rather than by this Privacy Policy.
In the event of any conflict between this Privacy Policy and Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices regarding the handling of PHI, the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices controls.
You may contact Our Privacy Officer regarding HIPAA-related concerns at [email protected].
