HIPAA Notice
1. WHAT THIS PAGE IS
This page explains how HIPAA applies to Pulse Health, how it applies to the independent licensed medical group, and where to go for your HIPAA rights.
We have written it plainly rather than in the language of the regulation, because the practical answer matters more to you than the citation.
2. OUR HIPAA STATUS
Extreme Resilience LLC d/b/a Pulse Health is not a HIPAA covered entity and is not a HIPAA business associate.
We are not a health care provider. We are not a health plan. We are not a health care clearinghouse. We do not perform any function or activity on behalf of a covered entity that involves protected health information, and we do not hold protected health information on anyone's behalf.
Because of this, Pulse Health does not have a business associate agreement with the independent licensed medical group, and none is required.
3. WHERE YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION ACTUALLY GOES
Your medical intake is operated by the independent licensed medical group. It is hosted on their systems, not ours. When you fill it out, you are giving your information to them directly.
Standard web browser security prevents our website code from reading anything you enter into their intake. This is not a policy choice we could reverse. It is how browsers work, and we have built the site to rely on it.
Your medical history, your symptoms, your measurements, your medication list, and your clinical answers are held by the medical group as your health care provider. They are a covered entity. HIPAA applies to them and to those records.
4. WHAT PULSE HEALTH DOES HOLD
We hold a limited set of information:
- Your first name
- Your email address
- Your state of residence
- Your acknowledgment of six required disclosures
- An order reference number that we generated ourselves
- Order date, product, and payment confirmation status
The only information we pass to the medical group is the order reference number, so that they can match your clinical intake to your order. We do not receive clinical information from them.
5. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR HIPAA RIGHTS
Your HIPAA rights attach to your medical records, and the independent licensed medical group holds those records. Direct these requests to them:
- Access to or a copy of your medical records
- Amendment of your medical records
- An accounting of disclosures
- A restriction on use or disclosure
- Confidential communications
- A complaint about privacy practices
Their Notice of Privacy Practices, including how to contact their privacy officer, is here: https://my.myorbithealth.com/legal/notice-of-privacy-practices.html
You also have the right to file a complaint with the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint.
6. RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO WHAT WE HOLD
Separately from HIPAA, you have rights in the information Pulse Health holds. You can ask us to confirm what we have, give you a copy, correct it, or delete it. See Section 9 of our Privacy Policy.
If you live in Washington or Nevada, see our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice. Those laws apply to Pulse Health directly and give you additional rights.
7. OUR OBLIGATIONS IF THERE IS A BREACH
Because HIPAA does not cover Pulse Health, the Federal Trade Commission's Health Breach Notification Rule does. If unsecured identifiable health information that we hold is acquired or disclosed without authorization, we will notify you and the Federal Trade Commission as that rule requires, and will notify media where the rule requires it.
