Notice of Privacy Practices

Effective date: July 29, 2026

Our commitment

Mega Health Rx Pharmacy is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect.

How we may use and disclose your health information

For treatment

We use your information to dispense your prescriptions, review them for interactions and allergies, counsel you about your medications, and communicate with your prescribers and other providers involved in your care.

For payment

We use and disclose your information to bill and collect payment from you, your insurance plan, or another third party — for example, submitting a claim so your plan applies your copay.

For health care operations

We use your information to run the pharmacy: quality assessment, staff training and review, licensing, business planning, and resolving complaints.

Other uses that do not require your authorization

• Reminding you that a refill is due, or that a prescription is ready
• Telling you about treatment alternatives or health-related benefits and services
• Public health activities, including reporting to immunization registries and adverse drug event reporting
• Reporting suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence
• Health oversight activities, such as audits and inspections
• Judicial and administrative proceedings, subpoenas and court orders
• Law enforcement purposes as permitted by law
• Serious threats to health or safety
• Workers’ compensation, coroners, medical examiners and funeral directors
• Organ and tissue donation
• Specialized government functions, including military and national security
• Research, where an approved board has waived authorization
• As otherwise required by law

Disclosures to people involved in your care

Unless you object, we may share information with a family member, friend or other person you identify who is involved in your care or in paying for it — for example, a relative collecting your prescription on your behalf.

Uses that do require your written authorization

We will obtain your written authorization before we use or disclose your information for marketing that involves payment to us, before we sell your information, and before we disclose psychotherapy notes. You may revoke an authorization at any time in writing, except where we have already acted on it.

Your rights

To inspect and copy

You may inspect and obtain a copy of your health information that we maintain. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee. You may request an electronic copy.

To request an amendment

If you believe information we hold is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us in writing to amend it. We may deny your request in certain circumstances, and will explain why in writing.

To an accounting of disclosures

You may request a list of certain disclosures we have made of your health information. This does not include disclosures for treatment, payment or health care operations, or disclosures you authorized.

To request restrictions

You may ask us to limit how we use or disclose your information. We are not required to agree, with one exception: if you pay for a prescription in full out of pocket, and you ask us not to disclose that information to your health plan, we must agree.

To request confidential communications

You may ask us to contact you in a specific way, or at a specific address or number. We will accommodate reasonable requests.

To a paper copy of this notice

You may ask for a paper copy at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

To be notified of a breach

We will notify you if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.

Our duties

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information and to abide by the terms of this notice. We reserve the right to change this notice and to make the new terms effective for all information we maintain. If we make a material change, we will post the revised notice in the pharmacy and on this website.

Complaints

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may complain to us or to the federal government. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
