The HIPAA Privacy Regulations require that every Covered Entity prepare and provide to each Individual a Notice of Privacy Practices (the "Notice"). The purpose of the Notice is to describe Bergen’s Promise’s duties, the Individual's rights, and how PHI is used by Bergen’s Promise to provide services to the Individual. Bergen’s Promise’s Notice must be provided to the Individual no later than the first date of services or upon request. In addition, Bergen’s Promise is required to post the Notice in a prominent location and on its website. This policy is designed to give guidance and to ensure compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Regulations and New Jersey laws and regulations.
This policy applies to all of Bergen’s Promise’ trustees, officers, employees, Business Associates and other individuals who do business with or provide services for Bergen’s Promise involving PHI.
