AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.


We understand that your medical information is personal. We are committed to protecting your medical information.

of this Notice, and to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices concerning your health information. We must
follow the terms of the current Notice.
How VivaRx May Use or Disclose Your Health Information
VivaRx protects the privacy of your health information. For some activities, we must have your written authorization
to use or disclose your health information. However, the law permits VivaRx to use or disclose your health
information for the following purposes without your authorization:
For Treatment - We may use your PHI to dispense prescriptions to you. We may disclose your PHI to treating physicians,
pharmacists and other persons who are involved in dispensing your prescription.
For Payment - We may use and disclose your PHI so that your pharmacy services may be billed to, and payment collected from
you, your insurance company or a third party.
For Healthcare Operations - We may use and disclose your PHI for pharmacy operations, which include activities necessary to
run the pharmacy, and to make sure that you receive quality customer service.
For Prescription Refill Reminders and Health-Related Products and Services - We may use or disclose your PHI for prescription
refill reminders, to tell you about health-related products or services, or to recommend possible treatment alternatives that may
be of interest to you.
Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care - We may disclose your PHI to a family member or friend who is
involved in your medical care or payment for your care, provided you agree to this disclosure, or we give you an opportunity to
object to the disclosure. If you are unavailable or are unable to object, we will use our best judgment to decide whether this
disclosure is in your best interests.
As Required by Law - We will disclose your PHI when required to do so by federal, state or local law.
To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety - We may use and disclose your PHI when necessary to prevent a serious threat to
your health and safety, or the health and safety of the public or another person. Any disclosure, however, would only be to
someone able to help prevent the threat.
Lawsuits and Disputes - If you are involved in a lawsuit or dispute, we may disclose your PHI in response to a court or
administrative order. We may also disclose your PHI in response to a subpoena, discovery request or other lawful process by
someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made to tell you about the request (which may include
written notice), or to obtain an order protecting the information requested.
Specialized Government Functions - We may disclose your PHI (1) if you are a member of the armed forces, as required by
military command authorities; (2) if you are an inmate, or in custody, to a correctional institution or law enforcement official; (3)
in response to a request from law enforcement, under certain conditions; (4) for national security reasons authorized by law;
and (5) to authorized federal officials to protect the President, other authorized persons, or foreign heads of state.
Workers' Compensation - We may disclose your health information for workers' compensation or similar programs.
Incidental Disclosures at the Drive-Thru Window - In some locations we offer a drive-thru window. A conversation with the
pharmacy might be overheard by someone in or near the pharmacy. If you would like additional privacy, we suggest you conduct
any pharmacy transactions within the store.
Personal Representatives - We may disclose your PHI to a person legally authorized to act on your behalf, such as a parent, legal
guardian, administrator or executor of your estate, or other individual authorized under applicable law.
Other Uses and Disclosures of Your Health Information Except as described in this Notice, we will not use or disclose your PHI
without your written authorization. If you do give us authorization to use or disclose your PHI, you may cancel your authorization
in writing at any time. If you cancel your authorization, this will stop any further use or disclosure for the purposes covered by
your authorization, except where we have already acted on your permission. Please refer to the State Law Supplement for any
stricter state laws regarding your PHI. If your state is not listed, its laws are not stricter than the federal privacy law.
