All services at the
Comprehensive Women's Health Center are private and confidential.
All physicians, staff, students, trainees, and volunteers must abide by
strict federal and state privacy and security regulations, including HIPAA.
At the CWHC, you can be assured that your personal, medical, and billing
information will not be shared with anyone, including your family and
referring doctor, without your signed consent.
… in our office
The Comprehensive Women's Health Center is integrated into the general
women's health practice; patients are not identified as seeking
termination of pregnancy. We seek to provide individual care in a
supportive, comfortable and respectful setting. There are no signs
indicating the types of appointments that occur in the Center.
… with your insurance plan
Many insurance companies have confidential billing for pregnancy
termination procedures, but some do not. If you are using health insurance
to pay for your procedure and you have concerns around the issue of
confidentiality, be sure to check with your insurance company about their
policies.
… especially for teens
Teenagers (12-18) have the legal right to consent to their own care
with confidentiality related to specific issues, including pregnancy and
family planning. However, in Colorado, minors are required to notify
their parents prior to having an abortion. We will do everything
we can to assist you with this process. |
