USES AND DISCLOSURES OF HEALTH INFORMATION
The Neurology Group uses your personal health information primarily for treatment; obtaining payment for treatment; conducting internal administrative activities and evaluating the quality of care that we provide.

You may also request in writing that we not use or disclose your personal health information for treatment, payment and administrative purposes except when specifically authorized by you, when required by law or in emergency circumstances. The Neurology Group will consider all such requests on a case by case basis, but the practice is not legally required to accept them.
