This may include your name, address, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, medical history, diagnosis, treatment, provider identification, financial responsibility, health insurance coverage (including group numbers and member identification numbers), and payment information. How We May Use and Disclose Protected Health Information About You WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT With the exception of information that may qualify for special protection under state and/or federal law, the following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose your PHI. Not every possible use or disclosure in a category is listed below. However, all of the ways in which we are permitted to use and disclose PHI will fall within one of the categories below. Also, NeoGenomics must limit its uses, disclosures, or requests for your PHI to the “minimum necessary” to accomplish the intended purpose of such use, disclosure, or request, except as permitted by law. Please note that, for purposes of this Notice, any references to “we” or “NeoGenomics” include all business associates we may engage. Treatment: We may use or disclose your PHI to provide and coordinate the treatment and services you receive. For example, we may use your PHI to perform diagnostic tests, or provide your test results to your physician or other authorized health care provider. We may also disclose your PHI to another testing laboratory if we are unable to perform the testing ourselves and as such need to refer your specimen to that laboratory to perform the requested testing. Payment: We may use and disclose your PHI to others for purposes of receiving payment for treatment and services that you receive. For example, we will submit a claim to you, your health care provider, or your health plan/insurer that includes information that identifies you and the type of services we performed for you.

For example, we may use information in your health record to evaluate the services we provide or to train NeoGenomics’ staff.

We may disclose the relevant PHI to these persons if you do not object or we can reasonably infer from the circumstances that you do not object to the disclosure. If you are incapacitated, we can make the disclosure if, in the exercise of professional judgment, we believe the disclosure is in your best interests. To the extent permitted under federal and state law, we may disclose PHI of minors to their parents or legal guardians.

In many cases, we will ask for your written authorization before using or sharing your PHI with others in order to conduct research.

We may also use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization to determine whether you might qualify to participate in a research project or to prepare a future research project as long as your PHI is not removed from NeoGenomics premises. We may also use or disclose a copy of your PHI that has had your name and other information that can readily identify you removed, if the recipient of the information enters into a legal contract agreeing to protect the information from unauthorized access.
