Patient Bill of Rights

As a patient receiving psychological and/or neuropsychological services, you have the following rights:

You have the right to considerate, respectful, and culturally sensitive care that respects your dignity and privacy.

Your personal health information and records are confidential and will be protected according to state and federal laws, including HIPAA. You have the right to be informed about how your information is used and disclosed.

You have the right to receive clear explanations about your diagnosis, evaluation and/or treatment options, risks, and benefits before consenting to any evaluation and/or treatment.

You have the right to be involved in decisions regarding your care and to refuse or discontinue evaluation and/or treatment, except as otherwise provided by law.

You have the right to review your clinical records and request corrections as allowed by law.

Your sessions and communications will be private, except when disclosure is required or permitted by law (e.g., safety concerns, abuse reporting, court order).

You have the right to receive care free from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, language, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, veteran status, or any other protected status.

You have the right to receive services in a safe, accessible, and welcoming environment.

You have the right to reasonable and timely access to care and to be informed of any changes or delays in scheduling.

You have the right to discuss language and communication needs with the practice. Reasonable efforts will be made to support effective communication, and options may include interpreter services or referral to a bilingual provider when clinically appropriate. Availability and costs, if any, will be discussed in advance.

You have the right to designate a legal representative or decision-maker for your care when applicable.

You have the right to receive guidance on how to access emergency or crisis care outside of regular office hours. This practice does not provide emergency services.

The practice is committed to respecting patient rights and providing care consistent with applicable ethical and legal standards.
