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.
Brain Spine Health is required by law to protect the privacy of your health information, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect.
Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Operations
We use and disclose your health information to treat you — for example, Dr. Harpreet Singh may share your imaging, qEEG findings, or treatment notes with a physical therapist, a referring physician, or a specialist involved in your care.
We use and disclose it to be paid for your care, including verifying coverage, billing, and collecting. Where care is provided under a lien, this includes the disclosures needed to perfect and collect on that lien.
We use and disclose it to run the practice, including quality review, staff training, scheduling, and business management.
Personal Injury and Attorney Coordination
If you are treated under a personal injury lien, records of your evaluation and treatment will be disclosed to the parties your case requires — typically your attorney, and insurers or opposing parties as compelled by the litigation.
Disclosure to your attorney is made on your written authorization or as your lien and representation agreements provide. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time, though we cannot take back a disclosure already made, and revocation may affect lien-based billing for your care.
Other Uses We May Make Without Your Authorization
- To remind you of an appointment, or to tell you about treatment alternatives and health-related services we offer.
- To a family member, friend, or other person you involve in your care, or in an emergency where you cannot agree.
- As required by law, including reporting abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
- For public health activities, such as reporting disease, injury, or a product problem to the FDA.
- To health oversight agencies for audits, investigations, licensure, and inspections.
- In response to a court or administrative order, subpoena, warrant, or other lawful process.
- To law enforcement in the limited circumstances the law permits.
- To coroners, medical examiners, and funeral directors as necessary for their duties.
- For workers’ compensation claims, as authorized by law.
- To avert a serious and imminent threat to your health or safety or to the health or safety of others.
- For research, where an institutional review board has approved a waiver of authorization.
Uses That Always Require Your Written Authorization
- Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes.
- Use or disclosure of your information for marketing purposes.
- Any sale of your health information.
- Any other use or disclosure not described in this notice.
Your Rights

- Ask us to correct your record. If we deny the request we will tell you why in writing.
- Ask for confidential communications — for example, that we call a specific number or write to a specific address.
- Ask us to restrict what we use or disclose. We are not required to agree, except that we must agree not to disclose information to a health plan about care you paid for in full out of pocket.
- Get a list of disclosures we have made of your information, for the period the law provides.
- Get a paper copy of this notice, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
- Choose someone to act for you, such as a person with medical power of attorney or a legal guardian.
- Be notified if a breach occurs that compromises the privacy or security of your information.
Our Duties
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information, to notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised it, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect.
We reserve the right to change this notice, and to make the revised notice effective for information we already hold as well as information we receive in future. A revised notice will be posted on this page and made available in our office.
