You hereby acknowledge and agree that all PHI that is created or received by Company and disclosed or made available in any form, including paper record, oral communication, audio recording, and electronic display by Company or its clients to you or is created or received by you on behalf of Company or its clients shall be subject to these Terms of Use.
You agree to comply with any requests for restrictions on certain disclosures of PHI pursuant to Section 164.522 of the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rule to which Company or its clients has agreed and of which you are notified by Company. You shall make available PHI to the extent and in the manner required by Section 164.524 of the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rule. If you maintain PHI electronically, you agree to make such PHI electronically available to the applicable individual. You agree to make PHI available for amendment and incorporate any amendments to PHI in accordance with the requirements of 45 C.F.R. § 164.526 of the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rule.
