your information in those records are used or disclosed, and what your choices are.
What is a Medical Record
Please note, your Medical Record contains only a limited set of Personal Information that relates to the
health care we provide to you. For example, it may include demographic information, diagnosis, or
communications with a provider.
To understand how all your Personal Information is handled by CoreLab Health, please review our Privacy
Policy. To the extent there are any conflicts between the Privacy Policy and this Notice related to your
Medical Record, this Notice will govern.
In some circumstances, your Medical Record could have additional information about your health that we give
special consideration to protecting. Examples of this information include, but are not limited to,
psychotherapy or mental health notes, results related to sexually transmitted infection(s) (“STI”), or
genetic information. We require additional authorization from you before we use or disclose that
information.
How We Use and Disclose Your Medical Record
The following categories describe ways that we may use or disclose your Medical Record.
- For Treatment. We disclose your Medical Record in the course of providing medical treatment or in
coordinating or managing any Services you’ve received or requested. For example, we may disclose your
Medical Record with members of our Medical Team involved in your care to provide an additional consult
or to fill a prescription.
- For Providing Services. We may use and disclose your Medical Record to carry out our business operations
and be able to provide the Services to you. These uses or disclosures are related to things like billing
or fulfilling prescriptions, quality of care, compliance activities, administrative purposes,
contractual obligations, grievances, or legal obligations. For example, we may use information in your
Medical Record to review the treatment and services provided or to evaluate the performance of the staff
and contractors caring for you.
- To Comply with Your Instructions. We will disclose your Medical Record as directed by you. For example,
if you choose to disclose your Medical Records with a third party available on the Services, we will do
so with your consent.
- As Required by Law. We will disclose your Medical Record when required to do so by federal, state, or
local law. In certain circumstances, CoreLab Health may be required by law to comply with a valid court

positive COVID tests, to health agencies for public health purposes.
Special Considerations

without your written authorization, unless required by law. Some examples of types of information that need
specific authorization:
- Genetic Information. This is any information about your individual genotype, including results of any
genetic test.

counseling is not a part of our medical team’s depression and anxiety care.

time as required by law, contractual obligations, as necessary for the establishment, exercise or
