Effective Date: May 12, 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.
Your health information is private, and we take that seriously. This notice explains how Evil Plan Productions, LLC (EPP) may use and share your protected health information — and what rights you have over it.
Protected health information (PHI) includes anything that identifies you and relates to your health care or payment, such as your name, contact information, diagnoses, treatment notes, and billing records.
Federal and state law require us to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to give you this notice, and to follow the terms described here while this notice is in effect.
How We May Use and Share Your Information
Without your written permission, we may only use or share your information in the following ways:
Treatment
We may use your PHI to provide care, coordinate your treatment, or refer you to another provider when needed.
Payment
Evil Plan Productions is a private-pay practice. We do not bill insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare. Your name and payment information may be shared with our bank to process your payment.
Health Care Operations
We may use your PHI for internal purposes such as improving quality of care, clinical consultation, or training. For example, information from your assessment may be reviewed as part of a consultation with our care team.
Our Care Team
EPP works with a small care team that may include directly contracted therapists, student interns, and consultation team members. Directly contracted therapists provide individual and group therapy services. Consultation team members may be involved in group scheduling, group practices, and participant-related matters to support the quality and safety of services. All team members are required to protect your PHI and may access it only as needed to do their jobs.
Business Associates
We use certain technology vendors to support practice operations. Any vendor that may come into contact with your PHI is required to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), legally binding them to protect your information under the same rules that apply to us. Our current business associates include Valant (electronic health records), Dropbox for Business (secure file storage), and Spruce Health (secure phone and messaging).
Appointment Reminders and Communication
We may use your name, phone number, or email to send appointment reminders or communicate with you through our secure practice management system.
Disclosures Required by Law
In some situations, we are required by law to share your information without your permission. In each case, we share only what the law requires. These situations include:
1. We have reason to believe a child or elderly person is being abused or neglected.
2. We believe you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else.
3. A court orders us to release your records.
4. Your name and contact information must be sent to a collection agency for an unpaid balance.
5. A professional licensing or disciplinary board requires it by law.
In rare cases, we may also be required or permitted by federal or state law to share your information for other purposes, such as public health activities or health oversight. In those situations, we share only what the law requires.
Uses That Always Require Your Written Permission
Some uses of your information always require a separate written authorization from you, regardless of the circumstances. These include:
• Psychotherapy notes — the personal notes your therapist writes during or after a session, kept separate from the rest of your medical record — may not be used or shared without your written permission, except as permitted by law.
• We will not use your health information for marketing purposes without your written permission.
• We will not sell your health information under any circumstances.
Any other use or sharing of your PHI not described in this notice also requires your written authorization. You may revoke that permission at any time, except where we have already acted on it.
Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your health information:
Right to Access Your Records
You may ask for a copy of your health information at any time. A reasonable fee may apply to cover the cost of preparation or printing.
Right to Request a Correction
If you believe something in your record is wrong or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it in writing. We may decline, but we will explain why and tell you what options you have.
Right to Know How Your Information Has Been Shared
You may ask for a list of times we have shared your information for purposes other than treatment, payment, or operations.
Right to Request Limits on Use
You may ask us to limit how we use or share your information. We are not required to agree, but we will consider your request and respond.
Right to Choose How We Contact You
You may ask us to contact you in a specific way — for example, by phone only — or at a specific number or address.
Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice
You may ask for a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you have already received it electronically.

• Follow the terms of this notice while it is in effect
• Notify you promptly if your PHI is ever involved in a security breach
