1. Our duties
The law requires us to keep your protected health information (PHI) private, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the notice currently in effect. We must tell you if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your PHI.
This notice applies to eFiberNet Inc., operator of MyTeleHealth.site, and to the clinicians and care networks we work with when they handle your PHI through our platform. Each partner network may also give you its own notice.
2. How we may use and share your PHI
We may use and share your PHI without your written authorization for:
- Treatment: sharing your information with the clinicians, pharmacies and labs involved in your care.
- Payment: billing for services and managing your membership.
- Health care operations: running our services, quality review, training and compliance.
- Business associates: vendors who perform services for us under a written agreement to protect your PHI.
3. Other uses permitted or required by law
- When required by federal, state or local law.
- Public health activities, such as reporting disease, injury or adverse drug reactions.
- Reporting suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence.

6. Your choices
You can tell us whether to share information with family, close friends or others involved in your care, and whether to share information in a disaster relief situation. If you cannot tell us your preference, for example if you are unconscious, we may share information if we believe it is in your best interest.

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with our Privacy Officer using the contact details below. You can also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr/complaints.
