Notice of Privacy Practices

Precision Medication, Inc. d/b/a Precision Medicine
Effective Date: October 9, 2026

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

Who this Notice covers

Precision Medication, Inc. d/b/a Precision Medicine ("Precision," "we," "us," or "our") is a licensed pharmacy and a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations ("HIPAA"). This Notice describes how we may use and disclose protected health information ("PHI") about you, and the rights you have regarding that information.

PHI is information that identifies you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health, the health care you receive, or payment for that health care. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect.

This Notice applies to PHI we create, receive, maintain, or transmit as a pharmacy. It does not apply to information governed by our website Privacy Policy, which covers information collected when you visit our website, contact us with a general inquiry, apply for a position with us, or interact with us in a business capacity.

How we may use and disclose your health information

For treatment

We use and disclose your PHI to dispense your prescriptions and to coordinate your care. For example, our pharmacists review your prescription and medication profile for drug interactions, allergies, dosing, and appropriateness, and may contact your prescriber to discuss your therapy or to request clarification or a refill authorization.

For payment

We use and disclose your PHI to obtain payment for the prescriptions we dispense. For example, we transmit the information needed to charge your payment method through our payment processor, we send you payment requests and receipts, and we may use your information to collect an unpaid balance. Precision does not bill private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or any other federal or state health care program.

For health care operations

We use and disclose your PHI for activities necessary to run the pharmacy and maintain quality. For example, we use it for quality assessment and improvement, pharmacist and staff training and supervision, licensing and accreditation, compounding records and batch documentation, medication recalls, business planning, and legal and compliance activities.

To business associates

We may disclose your PHI to vendors who perform services for us, such as hosting, data storage, communications, and shipping support. We require each of them by written contract to protect your PHI and to use it only as permitted.

To people involved in your care or payment

We may disclose PHI to a family member, friend, or other person you identify as involved in your care or in payment for your care, to the extent that information is relevant to that involvement. If you are present, we will give you the opportunity to object. If you are not present or are unable to agree or object because of an emergency or incapacity, we will use our professional judgment to decide whether the disclosure is in your best interest. We may also disclose PHI to notify or help notify a person involved in your care about your location or general condition.

Appointment, refill, and order communications

We may contact you about your prescriptions, including payment requests, refill and order status, and shipping and tracking information. We may send these messages by email, telephone, postal mail, or, if you have consented to receive them, text message. You may ask us to communicate with you by a particular method or at a particular address or number, as described under "Your rights" below.

Uses and disclosures we may make without your authorization

We may use or disclose your PHI without your authorization in the following circumstances, subject to the conditions and limits that the law places on each:

  • When required by law. When federal, state, or local law requires the use or disclosure.
  • Public health activities. To public health authorities to prevent or control disease; to report births and deaths; to report child abuse or neglect; to report reactions to medications, product defects, or problems with products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and to enable product recalls, repairs, replacements, or lookback; and to notify a person who may have been exposed to a communicable disease.
  • Controlled substance reporting. To state prescription monitoring programs and other authorities, as required by the laws of the states in which we are licensed.
  • Victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. To a government authority authorized to receive such reports, in accordance with law.
  • Health oversight activities. To agencies that oversee the health care system, including boards of pharmacy, for audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure.
  • Judicial and administrative proceedings. In response to a court or administrative order, and in some cases a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process.
  • Law enforcement. For law enforcement purposes permitted by law, such as responding to a court order, warrant, or grand jury subpoena, identifying or locating a suspect or missing person, or reporting a crime on our premises.
  • To avert a serious threat to health or safety. When necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of a person or the public, to someone able to help prevent the threat.
  • Coroners, medical examiners, and funeral directors. As necessary for them to carry out their duties.
  • Organ and tissue donation. To organizations that handle organ, eye, or tissue procurement, banking, or transplantation.
  • Research. For research that has been approved by an institutional review board or privacy board, or for limited preparatory or decedent research, subject to the protections the law requires.
  • Workers' compensation. As authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with workers' compensation laws.
  • Specialized government functions. For military and veterans activities, national security and intelligence, protective services, and correctional institutions, in the limited circumstances the law allows.

Uses and disclosures that require your written authorization

Uses and disclosures of your PHI not described in this Notice will be made only with your written authorization. In particular, your written authorization is required before we may:

  • Use or disclose your PHI for marketing purposes, other than a face-to-face communication with you or a promotional gift of nominal value;
  • Sell your PHI; or
  • Use or disclose psychotherapy notes, if we were ever to maintain them.

We do not sell your PHI, and we do not use information collected to fill your prescription to send you marketing or promotional messages.

You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time. A revocation stops any future use or disclosure under that authorization, but it does not affect anything we already did in reliance on it.

Substance use disorder treatment records

If we receive records protected by the federal regulations on the confidentiality of substance use disorder patient records at 42 C.F.R. Part 2, those records receive additional protection. In general, we may use and disclose Part 2 records for treatment, payment, and health care operations if you have given written consent, and we will not use or disclose them in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings against you without your written consent or a court order that meets the requirements of those regulations. If you revoke that consent, the revocation does not affect uses or disclosures we already made in reliance on it. You may obtain more information from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about the protections that apply to these records and about filing a complaint concerning them.

State law

Some state laws give health information greater protection than HIPAA does, including laws of New York and of other states in which we are licensed that place additional restrictions on information relating to HIV and AIDS, mental health, substance use, genetic testing, and reproductive health care. Where a state law that applies to you is more protective of your information than this Notice, we follow that state law.

Your rights

You have the following rights regarding the PHI we maintain about you. To exercise any of them, contact our Privacy Officer using the information at the end of this Notice. We may ask you to make your request in writing.

Right to inspect and get a copy

You may inspect and get a copy of the health information we use to make decisions about your care, including your prescription and billing records. If we maintain the information electronically, you may ask for an electronic copy, and you may ask us to send a copy to a person or entity you designate. We will respond within 30 days, and may extend that period once by 30 days if we tell you why. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copying and postage. In limited circumstances we may deny a request, and if we do, you may ask for that denial to be reviewed.

Right to request an amendment

If you believe information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend it. Your request must be in writing and must state the reason for the amendment. We may deny the request if the information was not created by us, is not part of the records we keep, is not information you would be permitted to inspect and copy, or is accurate and complete. If we deny your request, you may submit a written statement of disagreement, which we will include with the information.

Right to an accounting of disclosures

You may request a list of certain disclosures we made of your PHI in the six years before the date of your request. The list does not include disclosures for treatment, payment, or health care operations, disclosures you authorized, disclosures made directly to you or to people involved in your care, or certain other disclosures the law excludes. The first list you request in any 12-month period is free; we may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for additional lists, and will tell you the cost before we incur it so that you can withdraw or modify your request.

Right to request restrictions

You may ask us to restrict how we use or disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, or health care operations, or to a person involved in your care. We are not required to agree to a restriction, except in one case: if you pay for a service or item in full out of pocket, you may require us not to disclose PHI about that service or item to a health plan for payment or health care operations purposes, unless the disclosure is otherwise required by law. Precision does not bill health plans, so we do not make those disclosures in the ordinary course. If we do agree to a restriction, we will follow it unless the information is needed to provide you emergency treatment.

Right to confidential communications

You may ask us to communicate with you about health matters in a certain way or at a certain location — for example, by telephone rather than email, at a particular address, or to a particular number. We will accommodate reasonable requests. You do not need to give us a reason.

Right to be notified of a breach

You have the right to be notified if we discover a breach of your unsecured PHI.

Right to a paper copy of this Notice

You may ask for a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically. Contact us and we will mail one to you.

Right to choose someone to act for you

If you have given someone a medical power of attorney, or if someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your health information. We will verify that the person has this authority before we act.

Our responsibilities

We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your PHI, to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect, and to notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information. We will not use or share your information other than as described here unless you tell us in writing that we may.

Changes to this Notice

We may change this Notice at any time. Any change will apply to all PHI we maintain, including information we created or received before the change. The Notice currently in effect will always be posted on our website at https://precisionmeds.com/notice-of-privacy-practices/, with its effective date shown at the top. You may ask us for a copy at any time.
