This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how Doug's Pharmacy may use and disclose PHI to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations and for other specified purposes that are permitted or required by law. The Notice also describes your rights with respect to your PHI. We are required to provide this notice to you by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). Doug's Pharmacy is required to follow the terms of this Notice. We will not use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization, except as described or otherwise permitted by this Notice.

Examples of How We Use and Disclose Protected Health Information About You: The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose your protected health information. We have provided you with examples in certain categories; however, not every use or disclosure in a category will be listed. Treatment: We may use your health information to provide and coordinate the treatment, medications and services you receive. For example, we may contact you regarding medications, equipment, supplies, compliance programs such as drug recommendations, therapeutic substitution, refill reminders, other product or service recommendations, counseling and drug utilization review (DUR), product recalls or disease state management. Payment: We may use your health information for various payment-related functions. We will bill you or a third-party payor for the cost of medications, equipment and supplies dispensed to you.
