YOUR PRIVACY

Your Privacy

For a good treatment it is necessary that I, as your treating therapist, prepare a file. This is also a legal obligation imposed by the WGBO.

 

Your file contains notes about your health status and information about the examinations and treatments performed.

 

 

This file also includes information that is necessary for your treatment and that, after your explicit consent, I have requested from another care provider, such as your general practitioner. I do my utmost to guarantee your privacy.

 

 

This means, among other things, that I:

 

1. handle your personal and medical data with care,

 

2. make sure that unauthorized persons do not have access to your data.

 

 

As your treating therapist, I am the only one who has access to the data in your file. I also have a legal duty of confidentiality (professional secrecy). The data from your file can also be used for the following purposes:

 

– To inform other healthcare providers, for example when the therapy has been completed or when referring to another practitioner. Of course, this only happens with your explicit permission.

 

– For use for by a replacement therapist during my absence.

 

– For anonymous use during peer review.

 

A small part of the data from your file is used for my financial administration, so that I or my administrator can prepare an invoice. If I want to use your data for another reason, I will first inform you and explicitly ask for your permission. The data in the client file is kept for 20 years, as required by the law on the treatment agreement.

 

Privacy on the Invoice

 

The bill you receive contains the following information. This information is requested by the health insurer, so that you can declare this invoice to your health insurer.

 

1. name, address and place of residence.

 

2. date of birth.

 

3. date of treatment.

 

4. a brief description of the treatment, such as eg. “Shiatsu treatment”.

 

5. the costs of the consultation.
