Shagets M.D. is unable to honor your request to inspect and obtain a copy of your protected health information (PHI) for the following reason(s):

[ ] Frank W. Shagets M.D. does not possess the information requested.

[ ] You have requested psychotherapy notes, as defined in the Privacy Rule, and

we are not required to allow you to inspect and obtain a copy of your psychotherapy

notes.

[ ] The Privacy Rule does not require the practice to permit you to inspect and

obtain a copy of the requested information because it has been compiled in

anticipation of, or for use in a civil, criminal or administrative action or

proceeding.

[ ] The Privacy Rule does not require the practice to permit you to inspect and

obtain a copy of the requested information because it is subject to or

exempted by the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA) of

1988.

[ ] The Privacy Rule does not require the practice to permit you to inspect and

obtain a copy of the requested information because the information was

obtained from someone other than a healthcare provider under a promise of

confidentiality and the access requested would be reasonably likely to reveal

the source of the information.

[ ] The Privacy Rule does not require the practice to permit you to inspect and

obtain a copy of the requested information because the information was/is

being created or obtained in the course of on-going research that includes

treatment and you agreed to the denial of access when you consented to

participate in the research. Your right of access will be reinstated upon the

completion of the research.

[ ] The requested information is contained in records subject to the federal

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. §552a, and this denial meets the requirements of that

law. (The Privacy Act of 1974 protects personal information about

individuals held by the federal government.)

judgment that access to the requested information is reasonably likely to

endanger your life or physical safety or the life or physical safety of another

person.

healthcare professional has determined, in the exercise of reasonable

judgment, that the requested access is reasonably likely to cause substantial

harm to such other person.

[ ] You are the personal representative of the subject of the requested

information, and a licensed healthcare professional has determined, in the

exercise of professional judgment, that the requested information should not

be provided to you.

If access to requested information has been denied for any of the last three reasons listed above, you have the right to have the denial reviewed by another licensed healthcare professional who did not participate in this denial. If you choose to have this denial reviewed, please submit a written request to our Privacy / Compliance Manager at:
