When you use our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including information such as browser type, device type, operating system, IP address, referring pages, pages visited, and general website usage information.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, to protect legal rights or safety, or in connection with an organizational transaction permitted by law.
We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
5. Health Information and HIPAA
Some information submitted to or maintained by the Practice may constitute protected health information under HIPAA or other applicable health privacy laws.
Where HIPAA applies, uses and disclosures of PHI are governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not solely by this Website Privacy Policy.
Information entered through a patient portal or other secure clinical system is subject to the privacy and security terms applicable to that system and to applicable healthcare privacy laws.

Effective Date: September 10, 2026
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION, AND YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Core Path Psychology, PLLC (“the Practice”) is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information (“PHI”), provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect. This Notice explains how we may use and disclose your information, your rights regarding that information, and how to contact us with questions or complaints.
1. How We May Use and Disclose Your Information
Treatment. We may use and disclose PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your psychological care. This may include communicating with other health care providers involved in your care when permitted by applicable law.
Payment. We may use and disclose PHI to verify insurance benefits, obtain authorization, submit and process claims, coordinate benefits, collect payment, and conduct other payment-related activities.
Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose PHI for activities necessary to operate the Practice, including quality assessment, professional consultation, credentialing, compliance activities, auditing, business management, and review of services. HIPAA generally permits uses and disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations without a separate HIPAA authorization, subject to other applicable federal and state laws.
2. Other Uses and Disclosures Permitted or Required by Law
We may use or disclose PHI without your written authorization when permitted or required by law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Mental health records and communications may receive additional protection under Michigan law. When Michigan law or another applicable law provides greater privacy protection than HIPAA, the Practice will follow the more protective requirement.
3. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Authorization
For uses or disclosures not otherwise permitted or required by law, we will generally obtain your written authorization. Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes, as specifically defined under HIPAA, require a separate authorization. Psychotherapy notes are not the same as routine progress notes or the remainder of the clinical record. Uses of PHI for marketing purposes and disclosures that constitute a sale of PHI generally require authorization unless an exception applies. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time. Revocation will not affect uses or disclosures already made in reliance on the authorization before the Practice received and had a reasonable opportunity to act upon the revocation.
4. Substance Use Disorder Records
Certain records relating to substance use disorder diagnosis, treatment, or referral may be subject to additional federal protections under 42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2 and 42 C.F.R. Part 2. When the Practice creates, receives, or maintains records subject to Part 2, those records will be used and disclosed in accordance with applicable federal law. Part 2-protected records may receive protections in addition to those provided under HIPAA.
5. Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights:
Right to Inspect and Obtain Copies. You may request to inspect or obtain a paper or electronic copy of PHI maintained in a designated record set. Certain information, including psychotherapy notes and some protected psychological testing materials, may be subject to different access rules or limitations.
Right to Request an Amendment. If you believe PHI maintained by the Practice is incorrect or incomplete, you may request an amendment. We may deny the request when permitted by law. If denied, you may have the right to submit a statement of disagreement.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You may request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made during the period permitted by law. The accounting generally does not include disclosures for treatment, payment, health care operations, or other disclosures excluded by law.
Right to Request Restrictions. You may ask us to restrict certain uses or disclosures of your PHI. We are generally not required to agree to every requested restriction. However, when you pay for a health care item or service in full out of pocket and request that we not disclose information about that item or service to your health plan for payment or health care operations, we will comply when required by law.
Right to Request Confidential Communications. You may ask us to contact you in a particular way or at a particular location. We will accommodate reasonable requests.
Right to Choose Someone to Act for You. If another person has legal authority to act on your behalf regarding your health information, we will generally recognize that authority consistent with applicable law.
Right to Receive a Copy of This Notice. You may request a paper or electronic copy of this Notice at any time.
Right to File a Complaint. You may file a complaint with the Practice or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. The Practice will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
6. Electronic Records and Patient Portal
The Practice may make health information available through a secure patient portal or other electronic system. You are responsible for protecting your login credentials, devices, and access to your accounts. If you request that information be transmitted through an electronic method that involves known privacy risks, the Practice will address the request in accordance with applicable law.
7. Breach Notification
We are required to notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI when notification is required by law. The notification will provide information about the breach, the information involved, steps you may take to protect yourself, and actions being taken by the Practice.
8. Our Responsibilities
The Practice is required by law to:
9. Changes to This Notice
We may change the terms of this Notice and apply the revised Notice to PHI we already maintain as well as information we receive in the future. If we materially change our privacy practices, we will revise this Notice as required by law. The current Notice will be available upon request and will be posted on the Practice’s website.
