HIPAA Privacy Policy Statement

No Insurance Clinic HTX

At No Insurance Clinic HTX, protecting your privacy is a core part of how we operate. We understand the responsibility that comes with handling your health information, and we follow strict standards set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Our systems, processes, and staff training are all built around keeping your information secure and used only for legitimate clinical and operational needs.

How We Protect Your Information

We use secure electronic systems that require unique logins for every authorized team member. Any time your information is viewed, updated, or changed, the system records who accessed it and when. These logs help us maintain accuracy, accountability, and transparency.

Members of our technical team may occasionally come in contact with electronic protected health information (ePHI). Before they are allowed to work with these systems, they complete internal clearance procedures and are assigned secure credentials. These safeguards help ensure that your information remains protected at all times.

Working With Business Associates

Some of the work required to deliver efficient care involves outside vendors or service providers. When these partners need access to your information to assist us, HIPAA requires a formal Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
This agreement requires them to:

We only work with partners who meet these standards.

Our Privacy Commitment

Your health information is personal, and we take our duty to protect it seriously. We are required by law to safeguard your protected health information (PHI), inform you of your privacy rights, and follow the policies described in this notice. If updates to our privacy practices ever become necessary, we will revise this notice and apply the new version to all PHI we maintain.

Below is a detailed summary of how your information may be used and shared as part of the care and services we provide.

How Your Information May Be Used or Shared Without Your Written Permission

Treatment

Your information may be shared among our clinical team—doctors, nurses, and supporting staff—so they can coordinate your care, review your medical needs, and provide appropriate treatment.

Payment

We may share limited information with payers or entities involved in billing to process payment for services you receive.

Health Care Operations

We may use your information to support essential clinic operations, such as quality reviews, training staff, managing billing processes, or improving how we deliver care.

Health Information Exchanges

To support continuity of care, we may participate in secure electronic networks that allow providers to share relevant patient information.
If you prefer not to participate, you can request to opt out at any time.

People Helping With Your Care

If you do not object, we may share necessary information with a family member, caregiver, or someone involved in assisting you or handling your payment.

Fundraising Communication

At times, we may contact you regarding clinic-supported fundraising efforts. You may opt out of these messages by emailing info@noinsuranceclinichtx.com.

General Communication With You

We may reach out about appointments, test results, billing matters, or other care-related updates through the contact details you provide. This may include phone calls, emails, or text messages.
Messaging rates may apply, and electronic communication may not be fully secure.

Research

When allowed by law, some PHI may be used for approved research projects. When required, we will ask for your authorization first.
