The most common reason why we use or disclose your health information is for treatment, payment or health care operations.  Examples of how we use or disclose information for treatment purposes are: setting up an appointment for you; testing or examining your eyes; prescribing glasses, contact lenses, or eye medications and faxing them to be filled; showing you low vision aids; referring you to another doctor or clinic for eye care or low vision aids or services; or getting copies of your health information from another professional that you may have seen before us.  Examples of how we use or disclose your health information for payment purposes are: asking you about your health or vision care plans, of other sources of payment, preparing and sending bills or claims; and collecting unpaid amounts (either ourselves or through a collection agency or attorney).  'Health care operations" mean those administrative and managerial functions that we have to do in order to run our office.  Examples of how we use or disclose your health information for health care operations are: financial or billing audits; internal quality assurance; personnel decisions; participation in managed care plans; defense of legal matters; business planning; and outside storage of our records.
