Notice of Privacy Practices
Georgia Department of Human Resources
Office of Child Support Services
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED
BY THE DEPARTMENT AND HOW YOU CAN GAIN ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT
CAREFULLY. This notice is effective April 14, 2003. It is provided to you pursuant to provisions of the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and related federal regulations. If
you have questions about this Notice please contact the Customer Service Section of the Office of Child
Support Services (“OCSS”) at the address below.
The Department of Human Resources is an agency of the State of Georgia responsible for numerous programs
which deal with medical and other confidential information. Both federal and state laws establish strict
requirements for most programs regarding the disclosure of confidential information, and the Department must
comply with those laws. The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) is a division of that Department. For
situations where more stringent disclosure requirements do not apply, this Notice of Privacy Practices describes
how the Department may use and disclose any Protected Health Information (PHI) for treatment, payment, health
care operations and for certain other purposes. This notice relates only to health information. It describes
your rights to access and control any PHI, and provides information about your right to make a complaint if you
believe the Department has improperly used or disclosed any "PHI." Protected health information is information
that may personally identify you or the child(ren) and relates to any past, present or future physical or mental
health or condition and related health care services. The Department is required to abide by the terms of this
Notice of Privacy Practices, and may change the terms of this notice, at any time. A new notice will be effective
for all PHI that the Department maintains at the time of issuance. Upon request, the Department will provide you
with a revised Notice of Privacy Practices by posting copies at its’ facilities, publication on the Department's
website, in response to a telephone or facsimile request to the Privacy Coordinator, or in person at any facility
where you receive services from the De partment.
1. USES AND DISCLOSURES OF PROTECTE D HEALTH INFORMATION
Any PHI may be used and disclosed by the OCSS, its’ employees, agents and attorneys for the purpose of
providing child support program services to you. Protected health information is routinely needed in determining
biological parentage of the child(ren) involved, your ability to work and pay child support, and to determine the
appropriate amount of financial support required for the child(ren). The PHI of the child(ren) involved may also be
used and disclosed by OCSS for these same purpo s es.
Treatment: Any PHI may be used to provide, coordinate, or manage your child support services, including
coordination with a third party that has your permission to have access to any PHI, such as, a health care
professi onal who may be treating you, a health care specialist or la boratory.
Payment: Your PHI or that of the child(ren) may be used to obtain payment for the child(ren)’s health care
services and/or specialized education needs of the chi l d(ren).
Health Care Operations: The Department may use or disclose any PHI to support the business activities of the
OCSS, including, but not limited to, quality assessment activities, employee review activities, training, licensing,
and other business activities. The Department may use a sign-in sheet at the registration desk at any facility or
office where services are provided. You may be asked to provide your name and other necessary information,
and you may be called by name in the waiting room when a staff member is ready to see you, and any PHI may
be used to contact you about appointments and/or for other operational reasons. Any PHI may be shared with
third party “business as sociates” who perform various activities that assist us in the provision of your child support
servi ces.
Other uses and disclosures of any PHI will be made only with your writt en authorization, which you may revoke in
writing at any time, except as pe rmitted or re quired by law as described below.
Other Permitted or Requi red Uses and Disclosures With Your Authorization or Opportunity to Object
The Department may use and/or disclose any PHI to a court of law, to a family member, relative or any other
persons you identify in the OCSS Authorization Form. You have the opportunity to agree or object to the use
and/or disclosure of all or part of any PHI.
Paternity_Affidavit_and_HIPAA_Forms Revised October 16, 2008
Permitted or Required Uses and Disclosures Without Your Authorization or Opportunity to Object
The Department may use or disclose any PHI without your authorization when required to do so by law; for public
health purposes, to a person who may be at risk of contracting a communicable disease, to a health oversight
agency, to an authority authorized to receive reports of abuse or neglect, in certain legal proceedings, and for
certain law enforcement purposes. Protected health information may also be disclosed without your authorization
to a coroner, medical examiner or funer al director, for certain approved research purposes, to prevent or lessen a
threat to health or safety, and to law enforcement authorities for identification or apprehension of an individual.
Required Uses and Disclosures: Under the law, the Department must make disclosures to you, when required
by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and to investigate or determine the
Department's complia nce with the requirements of the Privacy Rule at 45 CFR Sections 164.500 et.se q.
2. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE FEDERAL PRIVACY RULE
The following is a statement of your rights with respect to any PHI and a brief description of how you may
exercise the s e rights:
a. You have the right to inspect a nd copy your protected health information.
Upon written request, you may inspect and obtain a copy of any PHI for as long as the Department maintains the
PHI. A reasonable, cost-based fee for copying, postage and labor expense may apply. Under federal law you
may not inspect or copy information compiled in anticipation of, or for use in, a civil, criminal, or administrative
proceeding, or PHI that is subje ct to a federal or state law prohibiting access to such information.
b. You have the right to request restriction of your protected health information.
You may ask in writing that the Department not use or disclose any part of any PHI for the purposes of treatment,
payment or healthcare operations, and not to disclose PHI to family members or friends who may be involved in
your care. Such a request must state the specific restriction requested and to whom you want the restriction to
apply. The Department is not required to agree to a restriction you request, and if the Department believes it is in
your best interest to permit use and disclosure of any PHI, the PHI will not be restricted, except as required by
law. If the Department does agree to the requested restriction, the Department may not use or disclose any PHI
in violation of that restriction unless it is needed to provide emergency treatment.
c. You have the right to request to receive confidential communications from us by alternative means or
at an alternativ e location.
Upon written request, the Department will accommodate reasonable requests for alternative means for the
communication of confidential information, but may condition this accommodation upon your provision of an
alternative address or other method of contact. The Department will not request an explanation from you as to
the basis for t he request.
d. You may have the right to request amendment o f any protected health information.
If the Department created any PHI, you may request in writing an amendment of that information for as long as it
is maintained by the Department. The Department may deny your request for an amendment, and if it does so
will provide information as to any further rights you ma y have with respect to such denial.
e. You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures the Department has made of any
protected he alth information.
This right applies only to disclosures for purposes other than treatment, payment or healthcare operations,
excluding any disclosures the Department made to you, to family members or friends involved in your care, or for
national security, intelligence or notification purposes. Upon written request, you have the right to receive legally
specified information regarding disclosures occurring after April 14, 2003, subject to certain exceptions,
restrictions and limitations.
f. You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this notice from the Department.
