If we receive, store, transmit or create Personal Information about you (or a family member or friend) from or on behalf of health care providers, this information is considered PHI.

If you have any problems with how your health care provider is managing your information, please contact your health care provider directly.

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
