We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your health information in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable state laws in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. Please review our Privacy Policy.

Your Right to Access Records
 

You have the right to request access to your mental health records maintained by our practice. In certain circumstances, some information (such as psychotherapy notes or records that could cause harm if released) may be restricted as permitted by law.

      • A clear description of the records requested

      • The format you prefer (electronic or paper, if available)

      • Where the records should be sent

      • Your signature and date
         

  2. Verify Your Identity

Processing Time and Fees
 

We will respond to record requests within the timeframes required by HIPAA and applicable state law. Reasonable, cost-based fees may apply for copying or mailing records, as permitted by law. You will be notified of any applicable fees before records are released.
