How We Collect Your Information

We actively collect information voluntarily supplied by you and not privileged or HIPPA protected. This information may include your full name, address, email address, phone number, demographic or psychographic information. This personal information may be supplied when responding to specific questions or in email correspondences. Some areas of the site request information in order for you to participate in activities, i.e. newsletter registration. Optional Information will be noted and marked as such.

We collect information through technology, such as cookies, flash cookies, and navigational data, which means some data is gathered on the website without you actively providing us with the information. This technology may include:

• Cookies: Cookies are pieces of information that a website places on the hard drive of your computer when you visit the website. Cookies may involve the transmission of information from us to you and from you directly to us. We may use cookies to bring together information we collect about you.
• Flash Cookies: We may use local shared objects, sometimes known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on our site to personalize your visit.

It provides statistical information as well as helps make improvements in website navigation. Session cookie files are deleted after logging off the Internet browser or powering off your computer.
• IP (Internet Protocol) addresses: The IP address of your computer is a number automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number allows access to the Internet and is considered non-personally identifiable in nature. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.
• Other Information: This information typically does not reveal your specific identity; such as server log files, browser information, navigational data, information collected by cookies, location information, and aggregated information. Navigational data is used for marketing research, content improvement and system management purposes.

Non-HIPPA Protected Information Use and Disclosure

To serve you better, we may combine actively collected information with personally identifiable information to communicate information to you (upon your request), for marketing and research purposes, for website personalization or for purposes as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively collected information, unless you consent otherwise.

We may disclose your personally identifiable, non-HIPPA protected information to our partners in the US and internationally, upon their agreement to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Additionally, we may disclose your personally identifiable non-HIPPA protected information to third parties, located in the United States and/or internationally, specifically:

• to contractors we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions); in these cases we will require third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
• in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to which the information relates; in these cases we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy; or
• where required by applicable laws, subpoena, court orders, or government regulations.

HIPPA Protected and Privileged Information

BillDME has created separate and distract protected website portals, pages or links for the purpose of receiving, storing, protecting and releasing or disclosing Protected Healthcare Information (PHI), including identifiers which would connect a patient to a specific health care record. Protected health care information (PHI) about patients and certain information about their health care provider are protected by federal law (HIPPA). This includes information from medical records concerning health history, laboratory and diagnostic testing results, diagnosis, treatment plans and prescription orders among other data and information and any information that would identify a specific medical record as belonging to a specific patient. All of the information provided by BillDME through the proper portal or channel shall be kept strictly confidential and is not shared with anyone outside the company, nor anyone within the company who doesn’t have a reasonable need to know it, absent a written consent from the patient. While HIPPA does allow disclosure of certain PHI to third parties with the patient’s informed and written consent, BillDME does not currently make such disclosures and will not disclose such PHI until the patient has received a HIPPA-compliant request form and has provided written consent to such disclosure. In the normal course of its business BillDME gathers and exchanges PHI with business associates such as doctors and insurance companies, BillDME and these business associates have entered into “Business Associate Assurance Agreements” that comply with all federal regulations and govern and protect the exchange of such information. Finally HIPPA requires each patient to be promptly notified of any breach of BillDME’s computerized or other records which is reasonably believed to have the potential of, or has actually resulted in, a disclosure of a patient’s PHI within a reasonable period of time of not more than sixty (60) days from BillDME’s discovery of the breach.
