PHI is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present, or future health and related health care services.
Uses and Disclosures of PHI:
Your PHI may be used and disclosed by TTS staff for the purpose of providing health care services to you, such as lab services, diagnosis, and treatment. Additionally, your PHI will be shared when required by law, such as to the mandatory reporting of the occurrence of reportable infectious diseases.

Information obtained in the MHQ is reviewed only by TTS staff (the MHQ is not shared with draw facilities, agents, producers nor the Free Speech Coalition (FSC)).
Treatment:
If deemed appropriate by our Medical Director, we will use and disclose your PHI to diagnose and treat you. In instances where TTS is unable to provide complete treatment, your PHI and lab results may be sent to a pharmacy or health care facility, of your choosing, that will be able to carry out the request for treatment. In the case of a positive, reactive, or unexpected result, your laboratory results will be made available, to you, via an encrypted HIPAA compliant system.

Your PHI may be used or disclosed in order to support the laboratory and/or healthcare activities of our organization. These activities include, but are not limited to, quality assessment activities, employee review activities and accreditation activities.
