Notice of Privacy Practices

This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how medical information about you (or your child) may be used and disclosed by Behavioral for Kids, Corp., and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

Effective date: August 11, 2026

Our Responsibilities

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of protected health information (PHI), to provide you with this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI as required by law. We must follow the terms of the notice that is currently in effect.

This notice applies to clinical health information we create or receive in providing ABA therapy and related pediatric therapy services. It is separate from our website Privacy Policy, which covers ordinary website and marketing-related data such as browsing logs and contact-form emails that are not part of the designated clinical record.

Who This Notice Covers

This notice covers Behavioral for Kids, Corp., our workforce members, and business associates who create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on our behalf, as defined by HIPAA.

How We May Use and Disclose PHI

The following categories describe ways we may use and disclose PHI. Not every use in a category is listed, but all permitted uses and disclosures fall within one of these categories or another authorization or legal permission.

Treatment

We may use and disclose PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your (or your child's) therapy and related services. This may include communication among BCBAs, RBTs, clinical supervisors, and other providers involved in care, as well as coordination with schools or other caregivers when appropriate and permitted.

Payment

We may use and disclose PHI to obtain payment for services, including billing Florida Medicaid and other insurers, verifying eligibility and benefits, obtaining authorizations, and collecting amounts due.

Health Care Operations

We may use and disclose PHI for our health care operations, such as quality assessment, staff training, licensing, accreditation activities, business planning, and customer service.

Appointment reminders and care coordination

We may contact you about appointments, treatment alternatives, or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest, consistent with applicable law.

Individuals involved in care or payment

Unless you object, we may disclose PHI to a family member, personal representative, or other person you identify who is involved in care or payment for care, when that disclosure is directly relevant to that person's involvement.

As required or permitted by law

We may disclose PHI when required by federal, state, or local law, including reporting required by Florida law, public health activities, health oversight activities, court orders or subpoenas as allowed, law enforcement purposes as permitted, and to avert a serious threat to health or safety.

Business associates

We may share PHI with vendors who perform services for us (for example, billing or electronic health record support) under written agreements that require them to protect PHI.

Uses and Disclosures That Require Authorization

Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes (if applicable), uses and disclosures for marketing purposes, and disclosures that constitute a sale of PHI require your written authorization. Other uses and disclosures not described in this notice may also require authorization. You may revoke an authorization in writing, except to the extent we have already relied on it.

Your Rights Regarding PHI

Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to:

  • Access and copy. Request to inspect or obtain a copy of PHI in a designated record set.
  • Request an amendment. Ask us to amend PHI you believe is incorrect or incomplete.
  • Request restrictions. Ask us to restrict certain uses or disclosures of PHI. We are not required to agree to every request, except in limited situations required by law (for example, certain restrictions on disclosures to a health plan for services paid in full out of pocket).
  • Request confidential communications. Ask us to contact you in a specific way or at a different address or phone number.
  • Accounting of disclosures. Request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made by us.
  • Paper copy of this notice. Obtain a paper copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
  • Choose someone to act for you. If you have a legal guardian, health care proxy, or other personal representative under Florida law, that person may exercise your rights on your behalf when authorized.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@behavioralforkids.com or (786) 360-2655. We may ask you to submit requests in writing and may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copies when permitted by law.

Complaints

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us by contacting info@behavioralforkids.com or calling (786) 360-2655. You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to change this notice and to make the revised notice effective for PHI we already have as well as information we receive in the future. The current notice will be posted on our website and available upon request at our clinic.
