Notice of Privacy Practices

Effective date: September 24, 2026

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.

Skiatook Family Clinic keeps protected health information (“PHI”) private. PHI is any information, in any form, that identifies you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, and it includes your billing records. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of PHI, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, to notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect.

Uses and disclosures without your permission

  • Treatment: to provide, manage, and coordinate your health care with other providers.
  • Payment: for billing, including sharing PHI with your health insurance company.
  • Health care operations: for quality assessment, evaluating staff, and similar purposes.
  • Other disclosures permitted or required by law in limited circumstances, such as public health reporting, health oversight, legal proceedings, law enforcement, threats to health or safety, research, workers’ compensation, and specialized government functions.

Records with additional federal protection

Some records, such as records of substance use disorder treatment, receive additional protection under federal law (42 C.F.R. Part 2). These records, and testimony about them, may not be used or disclosed in any civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceeding against you unless you give specific written consent or a court issues an order that meets federal requirements. The full notice explains these protections.

Uses and disclosures requiring your written permission

We must obtain your written authorization before using or sharing your PHI for any purpose not described in the notice. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent we have already acted on it. Marketing, sale of PHI, and psychotherapy notes each require authorization, with limited exceptions.

Your rights

  • Request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures. We must agree when you pay in full out of pocket for a service and ask us not to share that information with your health plan.
  • Confidential communications: ask us to contact you a certain way or at a certain location.
  • Inspect and get a copy of your PHI, including an electronic copy. A reasonable, cost-based fee may apply.
  • Request an amendment if you believe your PHI is incorrect or incomplete.
  • Get an accounting of certain disclosures we have made.
  • Get a paper copy of this notice at any time.

This page summarizes the notice. The complete Notice of Privacy Practices is the authoritative version.

To ask a question or raise a concern about your privacy, contact our Privacy Officer at (918) 396-1262 or 201 East Second Street, Skiatook, OK 74070. You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Your right to a Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059. To ask us for an estimate, call (918) 396-1262.
