What is a Medical Record
Please note, your Medical Record contains only a limited set of Personal Information that relates to the health care we provide to you. For example, it may include demographic information, diagnosis, or communications with a provider.
To understand how all your Personal Information is handled by Qi Health, please review our Privacy Policy. To the extent there are any conflicts between the Privacy Policy and this Notice related to your Medical Record, this Notice will govern.
In some circumstances, your Medical Record could have additional information about your health that we give special consideration to protecting. Examples of this information include, but are not limited to, psychotherapy or mental health notes, results related to sexually transmitted infection(s) (“STI”), or genetic information. We require additional authorization from you before we use or share that information.
How We Use and Share Your Medical Record
The following categories describe ways that we may use or share your Medical Record.
- For Treatment. We share your Medical Record in the course of providing Traditional Chinese Medicine medical treatment or consultation or in coordinating or managing any Services you’ve received or requested. For example, we may share your Medical Record with members of our Medical Team involved in your care to provide an additional consult or to fill a herbal medicine prescription.
- For Providing Services. We may use and share your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record to carry out our business operations and be able to provide the Services to you. These uses or disclosures are related to things like billing or fulfilling herbal medicine prescriptions, quality of care, compliance activities, administrative purposes, contractual obligations, grievances, or legal obligations. For example, we may use information in your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record to review the treatment and services provided or to evaluate the performance of the staff and contractors caring for you.
- To Comply with Your Instructions. We will share your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record as directed by you. For example, if you choose to share your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Records with a third party available on the Services, we will do so with your consent.
- As Required by Law. We will share your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record when required to do so by federal, state, or local law. In certain circumstances, Qi Health may be required by law to comply with a valid court order, subpoena, or search warrant for a Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record. As permitted under applicable law, we will provide notice to you prior to sharing your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record.
- Disclosure for Threats to Health and Safety. In certain circumstances, we are required to share your Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Record to help protect you or someone else’s health and/or safety. For example, we may ask local law enforcement to perform a health and welfare check if, in our provider’s professional judgment, a welfare check is necessary.
Special Considerations
In certain situations, some sensitive information in your Medical Record will not be used or shared without your written authorization, unless required by law. One example of types of information that need specific authorization:
- Genetic Information. This is any information about your individual genotype, including results of any genetic test.
- Psychotherapy Notes. We do not create psychotherapy notes in your Medical Record since mental health counseling is not a part of our Traditional Chinese Medicine medical team’s care.
- STI Test Results. This is information related to any sexually transmitted infection(s) you experience.

Control of Your Medical Record You have control over your Medical Record. You can request the following by contacting the Health Care Compliance Team at the address below.

If you provide any written authorization to disclose your Medical Record, you are free to revoke your authorization at any time in writing. After receiving the request, we will stop any further use or sharing of your Medical Record, except in cases where we have already acted based on your previous permission. We are unable to undo any disclosure already made with your permission.
- Request Confidential Communications. You can request that we communicate with you about your appointments or other health care matters in a specific way. We’ll do our best to accommodate your reasonable request but may be unable to if it causes significant operational or administrative burdens.
- Account Deletion: As mentioned in our Privacy Policy, you are free to delete your account at any time. We may retain all or part of your Medical Record after you close your account for a limited period of time as required by law, contractual obligations, as necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, audit and/or compliance purposes.
In some circumstances, we may not be able to accommodate your request if it conflicts with our legal obligations, the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or it affects our ability to provide the Services.
