Effective Date: August 13, 2025
Last Updated: August 13, 2025

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.

When this Notice refers to “we,” “our,” or “us,” it means Radiant Care Pharmacy and all members of our workforce, including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and administrative staff. This Notice also applies to situations in which we collect health information for use by a partner prescribing provider who evaluates your needs and issues prescriptions that we dispense.

We are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and applicable Florida law to:

• Maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information (“PHI”)
• Provide you with this Notice describing our legal duties and privacy practices
• Follow the terms of this Notice currently in effect
• Notify you promptly if a breach of your unsecured PHI occurs

We reserve the right to amend this Notice. If we make any material changes, we will post the revised Notice in our pharmacy and on our website, and provide a copy upon request.

We may use and disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, and health care operations, as well as other uses and disclosures permitted or required by law. Any other uses not described in this Notice will be made only with your explicit written authorization, which you may revoke at any time in writing.

We may use and disclose your PHI to provide pharmacy services, including preparing and dispensing medications (including compounded medications). We may share PHI with your prescribing provider, other healthcare professionals involved in your care, or individuals you authorize. You will receive an individual notice and have the opportunity to opt out of any subsidized treatment communications.

We may use and disclose PHI to bill for our services, obtain payment from you or your health plan, verify insurance coverage, or secure prior authorizations.

We may use PHI for operational purposes, such as quality assessment, staff training, internal audits, compliance monitoring, and administrative activities.

We may contact you to remind you about refills, inform you of treatment alternatives, or share information on health programs or services that may interest you. You have the right to opt out of receiving such communications.

Unless you object, we may disclose PHI to family members, caregivers, or others involved in your treatment or payment. If you are not present or unable to agree or object, we may use our professional judgment to determine whether the disclosure is in your best interest. Only relevant information will be shared.

We may use or disclose PHI without your authorization only when and to the extent required or expressly permitted by law, including:

• Public health activities (e.g., preventing or controlling disease, reporting adverse medication reactions)
• Health oversight activities (e.g., audits, investigations, inspections)
• Judicial and administrative proceedings (e.g., court orders, subpoenas with notice to you)
• Law enforcement purposes (e.g., certain injuries, identifying suspects, complying with warrants)
• Coroners, medical examiners, and funeral directors (as required to perform their duties)
• Organ and tissue donation activities
• Research with appropriate approvals and safeguards
• To avert a serious and imminent threat to health or safety
• Specialized government functions (e.g., military, national security)
• Inmates or law enforcement custody situations
• Workers’ compensation claims (as required by applicable law)

You may request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures of your PHI. While we are not required to agree, we will comply if the restriction is required by law or relates to a service you paid for in full out-of-pocket. If we agree, we will honor the restriction unless required by law to disclose.

You may request that we communicate with you by a specific method or at an alternative location. We will accommodate all reasonable requests submitted in writing.

You may inspect or obtain a copy of your PHI in paper or electronic form, except in limited situations allowed by law. Requests must be in writing, and a reasonable, cost-based fee may apply. If we deny access, you may have the denial reviewed, and we will provide a written explanation.

If you believe your PHI is incorrect or incomplete, you may request an amendment in writing. We may deny requests if the information was not created by us, is not part of our records, or is already accurate and complete. If denied, you may submit a written statement of disagreement, which will be included in future disclosures.

You may request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI for the six years prior to your request. One list per year is free; additional lists may be subject to a reasonable fee.

You may request a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you previously received it electronically.

We will not sell your PHI or use it for marketing without your prior written authorization.
