NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES AND CLIENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY. Updated: 12/28/2021

Protected Health Information

In accordance with all local, state, federal, and ethical standards for privacy and protection (including HIPAA), Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC (hereafter referred to as PHCS) acknowledge the critical importance of Protected Health Information (PHI) and strive to ensure the confidentiality of the health information of all our clients. PHI is any data, including demographic information, that can reasonably be used to identify a person.

In compliance with the current standards, PHCS acts with changes made within the fields of mental health, counseling, and social work, and may change or amend this notice at any time for the purpose of remaining in compliance. If changes to this notice are made, reasonable efforts will be taken to ensure that clients receive and sign a copy of the new Notice. Please note that this Notice, as well as any signed revision of this notice, will apply to all PHI regardless of when it was originally created or received. A copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices can be requested at any time and can be provided in paper or electronic formats.

Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information

PHCS will not sell your PHI or disclose your PHI to any entity that may try to sell you products or services. In most cases, PHCS will require written authorization to use, release, or disclose your personal health information. You may request disclosure of your PHI to another party for any purpose at any time with a written authorization. This authorization is available, on request, from your clinician. The following list encompasses the legally and ethically recognized exceptions to our disclosure policy:

For Treatment and Health Care Operations: To assure quality of care, we may utilize health information about you to provide you with treatment, services, or recommendations. (Example: Your PHI could be used to review our treatment and services, evaluate staff performance, or to discuss treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services with you as applicable.) In the event that your PHI is utilized for the purposes of professional consultation, reasonable efforts will be made to limit the PHI disclosed during the consultation.

For Purposes of Conducting Business: Some PHI is required for the purposes of conducting business, such as disclosure of information (including demographics and diagnoses) to your insurance company or to our third-party billing service. This also includes collections agencies, when applicable.

When Required by Law: We will use and disclose your PHI if required to do so by law and for the purposes of mandated reporting. For more information regarding Michigan’s rules regarding mandated reporting, please visit https://tinyurl.com/yd6h3jqr. This includes:

For the purposes of reporting child or adult abuse or neglect;
For the purposes of reporting domestic violence;
In the event that a client poses a threat of danger to self or others;
In the event that a client discloses a threat of danger made to self or others;
When served with a court-order or subpoena, specific to the PHI ordered;
When disclosure of specific PHI could save a client’s life (i.e. disclosure of allergies during an allergic reaction, or of known prescription medications if asked by an EMT during an life-or-death emergency situation);
In compliance with workers’ compensation laws.
When required by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and/or applicable state or federal regulatory agencies.

Individual Rights and Responsibilities

As a PHCS client, you have the rights and responsibilities regarding your PHI outlined below. To exercise these rights, a written request must be provided to your clinician and reviewed by PHCS management. This request should include how and where (if applicable) you prefer to be contacted. We will honor all reasonable requests made in this manner. You have the right to:

Access, Inspect, and Copy: You have the right to inspect and copy health information that may be used to make decisions about your care. PHCS may deny your personal request to inspect portions of your records in limited and reasonable circumstances (i.e., a non-critical request for psychotherapy notes when viewing those notes without appropriate context and understanding could undermine the therapeutic relationship*). Records can be requested for personal use in paper or electronic formats. For an electronic copy of your records, a flash drive must also be included with your request. Please note that electronic copies of your records are more vulnerable to security breaches, and PHCS cannot guarantee the safety and confidentiality of your information after transfer. Pursuant to Medical Records Access Act, Public Act 47 of 2004, MCL § 333.26269, Updated for 2018, we reserve the right to charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing, or other supplies associated with your request for this information.

*Note: If you wish to receive a copy of your records, we strongly encourage you to review them with your clinician so that you can fully understand their contents. If your request for access is denied, your clinician will explain the reason for the decision to deny and discuss with you your options for further review.

Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to request a list of the disclosures PHCS has made of health information about you, such as disclosures made as required by law. This accounting requirement applies to disclosures made on or after April 1, 2018. Records of accounting cannot be made for dates occurring before April 1, 2018, or after the date of the request. Records can be requested in paper or electronic formats. Electronic copies of these records are subject to the same requirements and vulnerabilities as outlined in the Access, Inspect, and Copy section of this Notice. The first request made within a 12-month period will be provided for free. For additional requests in a 12-month period, PHCS reserves the right to charge a fee for the cost of responding to these additional requests. A schedule of these fees can be provided on request.

Request Restrictions: You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the health information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment, health care operations, and/or to someone who is involved in your care or the payment for your care. Please note that we are not required to comply with your request, particularly if the request is made regarding uses and disclosures that can be legally and ethically be made without your consent. If an agreement is made to restrict disclosure of your information, PHCS will comply with the request until such a time as the disclosure of your information becomes necessary for emergency treatment and/or as required by law (as applicable). You will be notified in any case that a restriction agreement must be terminated.

Amendment: You have the right to request that PHCS amends your PHI if you feel it is incorrect or incomplete and may do so for as long as the information is kept. Your request must provide a reason that supports the need for amendment. We may deny your request for amendment if the request is not made in writing or does not include an adequate reason to support the request. Additionally, we may deny your request if the information was not created by us, is not information we keep in your records, is not information that you are normally permitted to inspect and/or copy, or any information that we deem to be accurate and complete. If we deny your request for amendment, you have the right to file a statement of disagreement with us. We may prepare a rebuttal to your statement, and you will be provided with a copy of any such rebuttal. Statements of disagreement and any corresponding rebuttals will be kept with your records and will be included with any future authorized requests for information pertaining to the appropriate portion of your record.

Payment: Payments, including deductibles and co-payment/co-insurance, are due at the time of service. Payments can be made by credit/debit card only. A receipt for payment will be made available upon request. Clients are responsible for contacting their insurance company to obtain authorizations, co-pays, deductibles, and benefit period information. All co-pays and deductibles are due the day of service via the card stored on file.

High Balances: While we understand that financial issues may arise during therapy, we are unable to continue providing services in absence of a payment plan or arrangement once your balance reaches $100. It is your responsibility to ensure that the appropriate payment method is on file for each session. It is your responsibility to request a payment arrangement. If a payment arrangement is created and not adhered to AND/OR your balance reaches $100, and your card continues to decline, we reserve the right to remove you from the schedule until the balance is fulfilled.

Unless otherwise revoked, this authorization will expire upon termination of psychotherapy services or no more than one year subsequent to the date of this authorization to release information.

This information has been disclosed to you from records whose confidentiality is protected by Federal law. Federal regulations (42 CFR part 2) prohibit you from making further disclosure of it without specific written consent of the person to whom it pertains, or as otherwise permitted by such regulations. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is NOT enough for this purpose. The Federal rules restrict any use of the information to criminally investigate or prosecute any alcohol or other drug abuse patient.

Telehealth Informed Consent

Telehealth allows the Therapist at Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC to diagnose, consult, treat and educate clients using interactive audio, video or data communication regarding treatment. I herby consent to participate in psychotherapy via the internet (hereinafter referred to as Telehealth) using a platform such as Jitzu and or VSee.

I understand I have the following rights under this agreement: I have a right to confidentiality with Telehealth under the same laws that protect the confidentiality of my medical information for in-person psychotherapy. Any information disclosed by me during my therapy, therefore, is generally confidential. By law, there are exceptions to this rule however; including mandatory reporting of child, elder and or dependent adult abuse and any threat of violence that I make against another person and or animal.

I understand that if I am in such mental or emotional condition to be a danger to myself or others, my therapist and or office staff of Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC has the right to break confidentiality to prevent the threatened danger. Furthermore, I understand that the dissemination of any personality identifiable images or information from the Telehealth interaction to any other entities shall not occur without my written consent.

I also understand that there are several forms of psychotherapy treatment modalities that have been found to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health disorders, personal and relational issues; including Telehealth. However, there is no guarantee that all treatment will be effective. Thus, I understand that while I may benefit from Telehealth, results cannot be guaranteed or assured.

I further understand that there are risks unique and specific to Telehealth, including but not limited to; the possibility that our therapy sessions or other communication by my therapist to others regarding my treatment could be disrupted or distorted by technical failures or could be interrupted or could be accessed by unauthorized persons.

In addition, I understand that Telehealth treatment is different from in-person therapy and that if my therapist believes I would be better served by another form of psychotherapy services; such as in-person treatment. I will be referred to a therapist in my geographic area or Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC that can provide such services.

Finally, I agree that in case of an emergency I will contact 911, visit the nearest emergency room and then contact my therapist to bring him/her up to speed.

I have read and understand the information provided above. I have the right to discuss any of this information with my therapist and to have any questions I may have regarding my treatment answered to my satisfaction. I understand that I can withdraw my consent to Telehealth communication by providing written notification to Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC.

Dear Client or Parent:

Please review the following information. The state of Michigan requires that I disclose much of this material. I hope it will also help you to be an educated consumer of my services, or those of any Mental Health Professional.

My job as your therapist is to provide you with quality services. Even if you believe that the situations described here do not apply to you, please read them carefully before signing the document. Please feel free to ask me questions about anything in this agreement.

Mission: Thriving to help individuals and families achieve and maintain peace and harmony through mental wellness and personal development.

Qualifications: I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Michigan State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Spring Arbor University. I am a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) through the State of Michigan (6401014303). Previous positions consist of: Program Manager of Housing Services for chronically homeless individuals with mental health disabilities for 10 years, Clinical Supervisor for a nonprofit and a for profit Counseling/Substance Abuse program for 2.5 years and an Independent Mental Health/Substance Therapist for 2.5 years.

Counseling Background: I have extensive experience working with chronically homeless individuals with Mental Health disabilities, Michigan Department of Corrections Paroles with Substance Abuse Disorders, Refugee Women suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Refugee and Domestic foster children, those who have experienced Sexual Abuse, families, couples, children and adults who are requesting Mental Health and or Substance Abuse services. My theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); which is a form of treatment that focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, by exploring patterns of thinking that lead to self-destructive actions. I use various forms of therapeutic interventions such as the empty chair, miracle question, reframing, play therapy, sand tray therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among others throughout session; based on the clients’ needs. In addition, homework assignments may be assigned to clients to help foster growth outside of therapy.

Fee Schedule: The fee for an individual 60-minute therapy session is $150.00. Payment in full is expected at the time of service in the form of cash, check, money order or credit card. Checks should be made payable to Peace & Harmony Counseling Services, LLC. If you are covered by insurance for psychological services, you will need to check your policy or check with your insurance company about important details. These will include your deductible, co-pay amount and visit limitation for mental health services. Any issues regarding reimbursement for my services are strictly between you and your insurance company.

Please notify me of any cancellations, as you will be charged equivalent to a full service fee if a session is cancelled without a 24-hour notice or if there is a no show for an appointment. Please note that some insurance companies do not cover late cancellation or no-show charges. Therefore, you will be responsible in full for those fees. In addition, your treatment will be terminated after three (3) no shows occur.

Confidentiality: All communication will become part of your clinical record, which you can access upon your request. Everything between you and I will be kept confidential as part of our counseling relationship, with the following exceptions or a release is signed by you:

You direct me in writing to disclose information to someone else and sign a release to do so.

It is determined you are a danger to yourself or others (including child or elder abuse).

I am ordered by a court to disclose information.

Supervision: As a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) in the state of Michigan, I am required to receive supervision from a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). During my supervision we will discuss all current clients, treatment approaches and any issues. The LPC under whom I receive my supervision is: Ian D. Shafer, MA, LPC (License #6401012915). In addition, as a LLPC to bill commercial insurances I must bill under an LPC. The LPC in which I bill under is Megan Hoffman, MA, LPC (License #6401014415). By signing below, you agree to allow Megan Hoffman to review your file.

Acceptance of Terms and Conditions: I understand that I am legally responsible for payment for my therapy services. If my payment is returned due to non-sufficient funds, I am responsible for the fees incurred.

The undersigned understood and agreed to work together as therapist and client under the above stated conditions.
