THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

Bauernfeind Physicians, LLC d/b/a Dr. Josh Wound Group ("Practice") is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (PHI), provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and abide by the terms currently in effect.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information

Uses and Disclosures That Require Your Written Authorization

Other uses and disclosures of your PHI not described in this Notice will be made only with your written authorization. This includes most uses and disclosures for marketing purposes and any sale of your PHI. If you give us an authorization, you may revoke it in writing at any time. Revoking an authorization stops any further use or disclosure under it, but does not affect disclosures we already made while it was in effect.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your PHI. We are not required to agree to most requested restrictions. However, if you pay for a service or item in full, out of pocket, you may ask us not to disclose PHI about that service to your health plan, and we must agree unless the disclosure is otherwise required by law.
• Request that we communicate with you confidentially, by alternative means or at an alternative location.
• Inspect and obtain a copy of your health information, including an electronic copy of PHI we maintain electronically, and to direct us to send a copy to a person you designate.
• Request amendment of your health information.
• Receive an accounting of certain disclosures we have made.
• Receive a paper copy of this Notice upon request, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
• Be notified if a breach of your unsecured PHI occurs.
• File a complaint with the Practice or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Our Responsibilities We are required to maintain the privacy of your PHI, provide you this Notice, abide by its terms, and notify you if a breach of your unsecured PHI occurs.

Changes to This Notice We reserve the right to change this Notice and make the revised Notice effective for PHI we already have as well as PHI we receive in the future. If we make a material change, we will post the revised Notice on our website at drjoshwound.com and make paper copies available upon request. The effective date of the Notice currently in effect appears at the top of this section.

Notice: You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of expected charges for medical items and services before those items or services are provided.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, provided upon scheduling or upon request.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
