However, if we agree to further restrictions, they are binding on us. Finally, you may refuse to consent to the use of disclosure of your protected health information, but this must be in writing. Under this law, we have the right to refuse to treat you should you choose to refuse to disclose your Protected Health Information (PHI).

I have reviewed, understand, and agree to the content of the notice of privacy.
