HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Effective date: August 21, 2026. This Notice applies to Made Ya Skinny, LLC and to all clinicians, employees, and contractors who provide care on our behalf at any of our locations or through telehealth.
Our commitment to your privacy
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (PHI), to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect. PHI is information that identifies you and relates to your health, your care, or payment for your care.
How we may use and disclose your health information
Treatment
We use your health information to provide, coordinate, and manage your care. For example, your prescribing provider may share your medical history, lab results, and body composition data with a pharmacy in order to dispense a prescribed medication, or with another clinician involved in your treatment.
Payment
We use and disclose your health information to bill and collect payment for the services we provide. For example, we may share limited information with a payment processor to complete a transaction.
Health care operations
We use your health information for activities necessary to run our practice, such as quality review, staff training, licensing, and business management.
Appointment reminders and health-related communications
We may contact you by phone, text message, or email to remind you of an appointment, to follow up on your treatment, or to tell you about treatment options. You may ask us to contact you a specific way or at a specific location, and you may opt out of these communications at any time.
Disclosures required or permitted by law
We may use or disclose your health information without your authorization when required by law, including for public health activities, reporting suspected abuse or neglect, health oversight activities, judicial and administrative proceedings, law enforcement purposes, serious threats to health or safety, specialized government functions, and workers’ compensation.
Uses that require your written authorization
Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes, uses and disclosures for marketing purposes, and any sale of your health information require your written authorization. We will not use your photograph, before-and-after images, body scan results, or testimonial in any advertising without your separate signed authorization. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time, and the revocation applies to everything except information we already disclosed while the authorization was in effect.
Your rights regarding your health information
Right to inspect and copy. You may request an electronic or paper copy of your medical and billing records. We will respond within 30 days and may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
Right to request an amendment. If you believe information in your record is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend it. We may deny the request, and if we do we will explain why in writing.
Right to an accounting of disclosures. You may request a list of the disclosures we made of your health information, other than disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations.
Right to request restrictions. You may ask us to limit how we use or disclose your information. We are not required to agree, except that we must agree to a request not to disclose information to your health plan when you have paid for that service in full out of pocket.
Right to confidential communications. You may ask us to contact you at an alternate address or by an alternate method. We will accommodate reasonable requests.
Right to a paper copy of this Notice. You may request a paper copy at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
Right to be notified of a breach. We will notify you if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your health information.
Right to choose someone to act for you. If you have given someone medical power of attorney or if someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise these rights on your behalf. We will verify their authority before acting.

Telehealth and third-party services
Some of our services are delivered by telehealth, and some of our scheduling, intake, and communication tools are operated by third-party vendors.
