You have the following rights regarding your protected health information at LUCENT Surgical Solutions:

Right to Request Restrictions. You have the right to request restrictions on our use or disclosure of your protected health information for treatment, payment or health care operations. We must comply with your request not to disclose protected health information if (1) the reason we would disclose the protected health information is to obtain payment or for operational purposes (and not for treatment purposes), and (2) the protected health information pertains solely to health care services that you, or someone on your behalf, as paid for out of pocket, in full. You also have the right to restrict the protected health information we disclose about you to a family member, friend or other person who is involved in your care or the payment for your care. LUCENT Surgical Solutions may terminate a restriction we have previously agreed to, except when you pay in full, if we provide notice to you that we are doing so.

Right of Access to Protected Health Information. You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of your medical or billing records or other written information that may be used to make decisions about your care, subject to some limited exceptions. If we maintain an electronic health record for you, then your right includes, at your option, access to the information in electronic format provided to you directly, or to an individual whom you clearly, conspicuously and specifically designate. You also have a right to receive information in a form and format that you request, if it is readily producible in that for and format; or, if not, in a readable electronic form and format as mutually agreed by you and LUCENT Surgical Solutions. Upon request, we will make the records available for inspection within ten days. If you request copies, we may charge a reasonable fee for our costs in copying and mailing your requested information. For information provided to you in electronic format, we may charge a fee that is no greater than the cost of labor in responding to your request.

We may deny your request to inspect or receive copies in certain limited circumstances. If you are denied access to protected health information, in some cases you will have a right to request a review of the denial. This review would be performed by a licensed health care professional designated by LUCENT Surgical Solutions who did not participate in the initial decision to deny access.

Right to Send Protected Health Information to a Third Party. You have a right to have your protected health information sent directly to a third part, such as another individual or health care provider. To help us accomplish this, you must sign a written request that clearly identifies the third party and the address to which the information is to be sent.

You must make your request in writing and must state the reason for the requested amendment.

We may deny your request for amendment if:

  • the information was not created by LUCENT Surgical Solutions;
  • the originator of the information is no longer available to act on your request;
  • the information is not part of the protected health information maintained by or for LUCENT Surgical Solutions;
  • the information is not part of the information to which you have a right of access; or
  • the information is already accurate and complete, as determined by LUCENT Surgical Solutions.

If we deny your request for amendment, we will give you a written denial including the reasons for the denial and the right to submit a written statement disagreeing with the denial.

Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to request an “accounting” of our disclosures of your protected health information. This is a listing of certain disclosures of your protected health information made by LUCENT Surgical Solutions or by others on our behalf, but does not include disclosures for treatment, payment and health care operations or certain other exceptions.

  • a brief description of the information disclosed;
  • a brief statement of the purpose of the disclosure or a copy of the authorization or request; or
  • certain summary information concerning multiple similar disclosures.

The first accounting provided within any twelve-month period will be free; for further requests within the same twelve-month period, we may charge you our costs.

Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice. You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this Notice, even if you have agreed to receive this Notice electronically. You may request a copy of this Notice at any time.

Right to Request Confidential Communications. You have the right to request that we communicate with you concerning protected health matters in a certain manner or at a certain location. For example, you can request that we contact you only at a certain phone number or by e-mail. We will accommodate your reasonable requests.

Your Rights of Notification In the Event of a Breach. A breach is the unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of unsecured protected health information which compromises the security or privacy of the protected health information, as defined by federal law. Protected health information is “unsecured” if it can be used, read or deciphered by an unauthorized person. If a breach happens, we will conduct a thorough risk assessment of the probability that protected health information has been compromised. We will presume that there has been a breach of your protected health information unless our risk assessment demonstrates that there is a low probability that your information has been compromised.

There are three exceptions to this rule, where:

  • in good faith, a member of our workforce unintentionally acquired, accessed, used or disclosed the information under the authority of LUCENT Surgical Solutions or its business associate of subcontractor;
  • an authorized person at LUCENT Surgical Solutions or its business associate or subcontractor inadvertently discloses the information to another similarly situated individual at the business associate or subcontractor; or
  • the unauthorized person would not reasonably be able to retain the information.

The exceptions do not apply if the information received as a result of a disclosure is further acquired, accessed, used or disclosed without authorization by any person.

LUCENT Surgical Solutions will notify or arrange to notify you if we believe your protected health information was accessed, acquired, or disclosed as a result of the breach. You have a right to be notified without delay, and in no case later than 60 calendar days after the breach is discovered. The notice will include a brief description of:

  • what happened;
  • the types of information that were involved (such as name, Social Security number, date of birth, home address, account number, diagnosis, disability code, or other information);
  • steps you should take to protect yourself from potential harm;
  • what we are doing to investigate the breach, mitigate harm to you, and protect against any further breaches; and contact information for you to ask questions or learn additional information.
