For example, your medical information may be used to provide health-related products to you and to coordinate with your doctor to ensure that you receive the products that your doctor has prescribed to you.
Your medical information will be used and disclosed as needed to collect payments for the products and Member services that you receive, such as when American Diabetes Management bills Medicare, Medicaid, and any private insurance carrier for the items you receive.
Your medical information will be used and disclosed as needed to manage and improve the quality of American Diabetes Management internal health care operations, including uses such as quality assessments, audits, and other similar functions. Limited medical information about you may also be disclosed to your insurers or doctors for managing their internal health care operations.
Your medical information may be disclosed to third parties that provide certain services to us, such as data processing, billing, legal, or accounting services, under contracts that protect your medical information from unauthorized use or disclosure.
