NOTICE OF PRIVACY

​

Since 1972, all treatment information regarding persons enrolled in treatment programs has been protected under federal regulations (42 CFR Part 2 Final Rule). The confidentiality of Man Village Men's Support Group sessions are covered under two separate federal laws (42 CFR Part 2 Final Rule* and HIPAA**). We must comply with both regulations to protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your sessions. In general terms, since 42 CFR Part 2 Final Rule (Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Treatment Records) provides you with the greatest degree of protection from unauthorized disclosure of your treatment records, our compliance with that regulation remains unchanged with the implementation of HIPAA. Please review this notice carefully. It is important that you understand these two different regulations. While we are a men's support group, we protect your privacy.

​

If you want more information about our privacy practices or have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Suppose you are concerned that we may have violated your privacy rights, or you disagree with a decision we made about access to your health information or in response to a request you made to amend or restrict the use or disclosure of your health information or to have us communicate with you by alternative means or at alternative locations. In that case, you may complain to us using the contact information listed at the end of this Notice. You also may submit a written complaint to the US Department of Health and Human Services at the address listed below. We support your right to the privacy of your health information. We will not retaliate in any way if you choose to file a complaint with the Privacy Officer or with the Office for Civil Rights.
