- Depending on various requirements, your information might potentially be disclosed for auditing purposes or in the event of an emergency.
- All federal and state laws with regard to the collection, transmission and storage of medical data will be observed and abided by.
Additionally, in the event of a legal matter we reserve the right to share relevant information with the concerned party. This can be in the form of a subpoena, fraud, etc. However, note that this is only in very specific cases where we, at Physician Credentialing Company, feel this is necessary, as we value the security of our customers and do not want to compromise your privacy in any way whatsoever.
At Physician Credentialing Company, we reserve the right to adjust or revise this policy in the event that any laws, regulations or standards have been altered at the state-wide or national level.
