Our Pledge Regarding Your Health Information
Mobile Blood Test is committed to protecting the privacy of your health information. We are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and applicable state law to:
- Maintain the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI");
- Provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your PHI;
- Notify you in the event of a breach of unsecured PHI; and
- Abide by the terms of this Notice currently in effect.
How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information
For Treatment
We use and disclose your PHI to provide and coordinate the phlebotomy services you have requested. For example, we share your sample, identifying information, and ordering-physician details with the certified laboratory that processes your specimen, and with your ordering healthcare provider so they can review results.
For Payment
We use and disclose your PHI to bill and collect payment for services. This may include sharing information with your health insurance plan to obtain payment, verify coverage, or process claims.
For Healthcare Operations
We use and disclose your PHI to operate our business — for example, quality assessment, training, credentialing, audits, and general administration.
Other Permitted or Required Uses and Disclosures
We may use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization in limited circumstances, including:
- When required by law (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, mandated reporting);
- For public health activities (e.g., disease reporting, FDA-regulated product safety);
- To report victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence;
- For health oversight activities;
- In connection with judicial or administrative proceedings;
- For law enforcement purposes as permitted by law;
- To coroners, medical examiners, or funeral directors;
- For organ, eye, or tissue donation purposes;
- For research, subject to approval and safeguards;
- To avert a serious and imminent threat to health or safety;
- For specialized government functions (e.g., military, national security);
- To comply with workers' compensation laws.
Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Written Authorization
Other uses and disclosures — including most uses for marketing, sales of PHI, and most uses involving psychotherapy notes — require your written authorization. You may revoke an authorization at any time, in writing, except to the extent we have already acted on it.
Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information
- Right to inspect and copy. You may request to inspect or receive a copy of your PHI in a designated record set. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
- Right to amend. If you believe your PHI is incorrect or incomplete, you may request an amendment. We may deny a request in limited circumstances and will explain our decision in writing.
- Right to an accounting of disclosures. You may request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made by us, generally for the six years prior to your request.
- Right to request restrictions. You may request limits on how we use or disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. We are not required to agree, except when you request that we not disclose PHI to a health plan for services you have paid in full out-of-pocket.
- Right to request confidential communications. You may request that we communicate with you in a specific way or at a specific location (e.g., mail to a P.O. box rather than your home).
- Right to a paper copy of this Notice. You may request a paper copy at any time, even if you originally received it electronically.
- Right to be notified of a breach. We will notify you in writing if a breach involving your unsecured PHI occurs.

Our Duties
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI, provide you with this Notice, abide by its terms, and notify affected individuals following a breach of unsecured PHI. We reserve the right to change this Notice and to make the revised Notice effective for PHI we already have about you as well as any PHI we receive in the future. The current Notice will always be posted on this page and available upon request.
Complaints
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights ("OCR"). You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint.
