2 Financial Policy This is an agreement between North Atlanta Primary Care and the Patient/Debtor names on this form. In this policy the words you, your, and yours mean the Patient/Debtor.

If your insurance changes, please notify us when you check-in for your appointment to help you receive your maximum benefit. Co-payment, Deductible and Co-Insurance. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible, co-pay, co-insurance or any portion of the charge as specified by your plan. This is your contract with your insurance company. If you do not pay your co-pay upon checking out from your visit, you will have a $25.00 additional fee added to your account. Failure on our part to collect co-payments and deductibles from patients can be considered fraud. Please help us in upholding the law by paying your portion of the charges at each visit.

6 North Atlanta Primary Care On April 14, 2001, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act became law, with an effective date of April 14, This law impacts on many aspects of the healthcare industry, and expands your rights as a patient to the protection of your Individually Identifiable Health Information (IIHI). We have posted a detailed policy letter on our web site (napc.md), which you are encouraged to read and download. Copies will be available, upon request, at your next visit. Our responsibility: Our practice is dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your IIHI. In conducting our business, we will create electronic medical records regarding you and the treatment and services we provide to you. We are required by law to provide you with this important information concerning our procedures relative to the use of your IIHI and your rights as a patient to know as to how we will use or disclose your IIHI, your privacy rights in your IIHI, and our obligations concerning the use and disclosure of your IIHI. We may use and disclose your Personal Healthcare Information (PHI) in the day-to-day operations of our offices as pertains to Treatment, Payment and Operations (TPO). This relates to the continuum of care between primary care givers and consulting physicians, as well as healthcare workers on our staff. We may be required to share your PHI with your insurance carrier as related to healthcare issues or payment events. Or we may use your PHI within our practice to evaluate our quality of care or conduct costmanagement or business planning activities. Further, we may use your IIHI to contact you for medical purposes, or for appointment reminders; to inform you of certain treatment options or alternatives; or as may be requested or directed by you to release said information to family or care giving personnel. We may, from time to time, be required to release your PHI as a result of federal or state mandate, or by competent legal directive. Your rights: You have a right to request that we communicate with you in a certain manner or location, for example, appointment reminders at work or at home.
