Our Commitment to Your Confidentiality in Cherokee County

Whether you are seeking chiropractic care for chronic lower back pain, auto accident injury rehabilitation, or routine spinal alignments, accurate medical records are essential to providing you with safe, customized treatment. To design the most effective care plan, our clinical team collects necessary health data, including physical examination findings, health history questionnaires, imaging reports, and billing details.

We adhere strictly to federal and state privacy regulations to ensure your records remain private. We safeguard your information using encrypted digital record systems, secure physical storage, and strict clinic-wide data handling protocols. Our goal is to provide exceptional chiropractic care while upholding an absolute commitment to your medical privacy.

How Your Protected Health Information (PHI) Is Used

Under HIPAA regulations, Canton West Chiropractic is permitted to use and disclose your personal health information for three primary purposes: Treatment, Payment, and Healthcare Operations.

1. For Your Treatment

We use your medical history, orthopedic examination findings, and progress notes to determine the best chiropractic adjustment techniques and therapies for your specific condition. With your authorized permission, we may also share relevant clinical records with other healthcare professionals—such as primary care physicians, orthopedic specialists, or physical therapists—who are co-managing your healthcare.

2. For Billing and Payment

To ensure your claims are processed accurately, we may need to submit diagnostic codes, treatment logs, and billing details to your health insurance provider, auto accident insurer, or workers' compensation carrier. This allows us to verify your medical benefits and process insurance payments on your behalf.

3. For Internal Healthcare Operations

We may utilize confidential medical data for internal administrative operations, such as quality assessment reviews, staff training, and clinical compliance audits. These internal checks ensure that our practice continues to provide the highest standard of chiropractic care to patients throughout Canton, Waleska, and Ball Ground.

• The Right to Request Amendments: If you believe an entry in your medical record is incomplete or inaccurate, you have the right to request a formal correction or update to your file.

• The Right to Request Restrictions: You can ask us to restrict or limit how your health information is shared for treatment, payment, or operational purposes, particularly regarding communications with specific family members or third-party entities.
