Notice of Privacy Practices
Purpose: THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU MAY ACCESS THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
All Points North Lodge (“we” or “our” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and understands the importance of safeguarding your medical information. We are required by federal law to protect the confidentiality and maintain the privacy of health information that identifies you or that could be used to identify you, including information related to your alcohol, drug, or mental health treatment (known as “Protected Health Information” or “PHI”).
We also are required to provide you with this Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains our legal duties and privacy practices, as well as your rights, with respect to PHI that we collect and maintain. We are required by federal law to abide by the terms of this Notice currently in effect. However, we reserve the right to change the privacy practices described in this Notice and make the new practices effective for all PHI that we maintain. Should we make such a change, you may obtain a revised Notice by calling our office and requesting a revised copy be sent in the mail, or accessing our website at https://apnlodge.com/.
The terms of this Notice apply to All Points North Lodge, including communications or interactions you may have through the APN Connection platform with us, medical professionals about treatment, counseling, or other topics on the platform. This Notice does not apply to the APN Connection Community functionality. To be clear, when you choose to use the Community features of the APN Connection platform, the information you share with the Community (including profile information and communications made in the Community), is subject to the APN Connection Community Privacy Policy.
Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Records
The confidentiality of your substance use disorder records maintained by us is protected by the 42 CFR Part 2 (Part 2) federal regulations, which serve to protect patient records created by federally-assisted substance use disorder treatment programs and held by lawful holders of those records. The Part 2 regulations impose restrictions upon the disclosure and use of substance use disorder patient records that we maintain. Generally, we may only disclose your substance use disorder records outside of All Points North Lodge when:
- You consent in writing (as discussed below in “How We May Use and Disclose Protected Health Information”);
- The disclosure is allowed by a court order (as discussed below in “Uses and Disclosures That May Be Made Without Your Authorization or Opportunity to Object”); or
- The disclosure is made to medical personnel in a medical emergency or qualified personnel for research, audit, or evaluation (as discussed below in “Uses and Disclosures That May Be Made Without Your Authorization or Opportunity to Object”).
Any disclosure made under the Part 2 regulations must be limited to that information which is necessary to carry out the purpose of the disclosure.
HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION
- Routine Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information
We are permitted under federal law to use and disclose PHI, without your written authorization, for certain routine uses and disclosures, such as those made for treatment, payment, and the operation of our business. The following are examples of the types of routine uses and disclosures of PHI that we are permitted to make. While this list is not exhaustive, it should give you an idea of the routine uses and disclosures we are permitted to make.
Treatment: We will use and disclose your PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your treatment. For example, we may use your PHI to contact you (i.e.: telephone calls, voicemails, e-mails, letters) as a reminder of an appointment at All Points North Lodge, or to check on you and your mental health status. Your PHI may be disclosed to any All Points North Lodge qualified staff members as needed to provide you with the best possible care, the most comprehensive treatment and to assure your physical health and safety. Your PHI will only be disclosed to those outside of All Points North Lodge when your express written consent or authorization has been obtained except as required by law.
Payment: Your PHI will be used, as needed, to obtain payment for the health care services we provide you. This is most common when payment is made by a third party such as an insurance company, workman’s compensation, another family member or your personal financial officer. Your PHI will only be disclosed with your express written consent or authorization. It is important to know, however, that your refusal to give such permission may lead to non-payment by that third party as without your written consent or authorization, we will be unable to discuss payment for your treatment services with any third party.
Healthcare Operations: We may use or disclose your PHI in order to support the business activities of All Points North Lodge. These activities may include, but are not limited to: staff training and evaluation, auditing, medical reviews, compliance All Points North Lodges, business planning, licensing, quality assurance, accreditation, certification and credentialing activities. We may also use your PHI to contact you (i.e.: telephone calls, voicemails, e-mails, letters) regarding alumni events and associations. You have the right to request not to be contacted for such purposes.

Required By Law: We may use or disclose your PHI to the extent that the use or disclosure is otherwise required by federal, state or local law.
Public Health: We may disclose your PHI for public health activities, such as disclosures to a public health authority or other government agency that is permitted by law to collect or receive the information (e.g., the Food and Drug Administration).
Health Oversight: We may disclose PHI to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law, such as audits, investigations, and inspections. Oversight agencies include government agencies that oversee the health care system, government benefit programs, other government regulatory programs and civil rights laws.

In addition, we may disclose your PHI to a public health authority that is authorized by law to receive reports of child abuse or neglect.

Coroners and Funeral Directors: We may disclose your PHI to a coroner, medical examiner, or funeral director if it is needed to perform their legally authorized duties.
Organ Donation: If you are an organ donor, we may disclose your PHI to organ procurement organizations as necessary to facilitate organ donation or transplantation.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION
You have certain rights regarding your PHI, which are explained below. You may exercise these rights by submitting a request in writing to our Privacy Officer.
You have the right to inspect and copy your PHI. If you would like to see or get an electronic or paper copy your PHI that is contained in a designated record set (e.g., medical and billing records), we are required to provide you access to such PHI for inspection and copying within 30 days after receipt of your request (with up to a 30-day extension if needed). We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover duplication, mailing and other costs incurred by us in complying with your request. In addition, there are situations where we may deny your request for access to your PHI. For example, we may deny your request if we believe the disclosure will endanger your life or that of another person. Depending on the circumstances of the denial, you may have a right to have this decision reviewed.
You have the right to request a restriction of your PHI. This means you may ask us not to use or disclose any part of your PHI for purposes of treatment, payment or health care operations. You may also request that any part of your PHI not be disclosed to family members or friends who may be involved in your care or for notification purposes as described in this Notice. Your request must state the specific restriction requested and to whom you want the restriction to apply. We are not required to agree to a restriction that you may request, except we must agree not to disclose your PHI to your health plan if the disclosure (1) is for payment or health care operations and is not otherwise required by law, and (2) relates to a health care item or service which you paid for in full out of pocket. If we agree to the requested restriction, we may not use or disclose your PHI in violation of that restriction unless it is needed to provide emergency treatment.
You have the right to request receive confidential communications from us by alternative means or at an alternative location. You have the right to request that we communicate with you in a certain way or at a certain location. We will accommodate reasonable requests. We may also condition this accommodation by asking you for information as to how payment will be handled or specification of an alternative address or other method of contact.
You have the right to amend your PHI. This means you may request an amendment of your PHI in our records that is contained in a designated record set (e.g., medical and billing records) for as long as we maintain the PHI. We will respond to your request within 60 days (with up to a 30-day extension if needed). We may deny your request if, for example, we determine that your PHI is accurate and complete. If we deny your request, we will send you a written explanation and allow you to submit a written statement of disagreement.
You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures that we have made of your PHI. You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures we have made, if any, of your PHI. This right only applies to disclosures for purposes other than treatment, payment or health care operations as described in this Notice. It also excludes disclosures we may have made to you, your family members or friends involved in your care. The right to receive this information is subject to certain exceptions, restrictions and limitations. You must specify a time period, which may not be longer than 6 years. You may request a shorter timeframe. You have the right to one free request within any 12-month period, but we may charge you for any additional requests in the same 12-month period. We will notify you about any such charges, and you are free to withdraw or modify your request in writing before any charges are incurred.
