The information you submit through https://focusonhealthpt.com/ (the “Site”) is generally not protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Please Keep This in Mind
- Do not include detailed medical history, diagnoses, or other sensitive health information in website contact forms or unsecured email.
- Communications sent over the internet or standard email/text are not necessarily secure or encrypted and could be intercepted or viewed by others.
- Once you become a patient, information we create and maintain about your care is protected under HIPAA and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, and is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. Certain health information received before a patient relationship is established may also be protected as required by applicable law.
- If you need to share health information with us, please ask about our secure methods (encrypted email, secure messaging, or a direct phone call with one of our staff).
By using the Site to contact us, you acknowledge that you understand this disclaimer and choose to communicate accordingly.
