When you have given permission to a trusted third-party app, this gives the third-party app access to information such as: 

• Your basic information, like your name, birthday, address, phone number, and email. 
• Information about your health insurance through Advanced Health (like what kind of coverage you have and your member ID number). 
• Details about what your provider charged.
  • What Advanced Health paid. 
  • What you had to pay yourself, if you had to.
  • This would include drug or alcohol use services paid by Advanced Health. 
• Records of past medical treatments or surgeries. 
• Notes about your health conditions from your doctors. 
• Your care plan with Advanced Health. 
• The doctors, clinics, or other groups taking care of you. 
• Prior Authorizations (approval for services). 
• Your chosen personal healthcare representative. 

Some of this info may be very private, such as: 

• Mental health. 
• Drug or alcohol use (this does not include your counselor’s notes). 
• Pregnancy or abortion. 
• HIV or AIDS. 
• Domestic or physical abuse. 
• Sexual health and infections. 
• Genetic testing. 

• When you download a third-party app, download from an official app store.
• When setting your app up, the app will usually ask for consent to access your information. The third-party apps you pick are your responsibility. Pick ones that promise to guard your information and data well. 
• Always read the third-party app’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use so you understand how they will use your information and take time to learn about the privacy settings. It is important to understand how the third-party app will use your information. Does the privacy policy answer the following questions: 
  • What health information will this third-party app collect from me? 
  • Does the app grab other information from my phone or computer too, like where I am? 
  • How does the third-party app store my health records? 
  • What will the third-party app do with my health information? 
  • Will the third-party app give my data to others? If yes, who and for what reasons? 
  • Can I control how much health information the third-party app uses? 
  • How does the third-party app keep all my information safe? 
  • Is there customer support I can call if I need help? 
  • Can I stop sharing my health data at any time with the third-party app? 
  • If I stop sharing, will the third-party app delete my data? 
  • Will the third-party app tell me if it changes its privacy policy?
• Do not share your password to your third-party app with anyone. 

Advanced Health will give you clear steps on how to opt out of sharing your data, and how to start sharing again (opt back in) if you change your mind. 

Something to remember, if at any time you will no longer have your phone, such as trading it in for a new one, or allowing another person to use it, it is important to remember to remove your health information from your phone. 

As a covered entity (45 CFR § 160.103), Advanced Health follows strict rules from CMS and state and federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security laws to protect your health information. These privacy and security measures are described in our HIPAA policies and procedures.   

Advanced Health only shares what you allow with third-party apps. We require you to give us permission. We are also able to share information with your doctors you know and see regularly. No extra permission is needed if you are already their patient. This helps your care team work together and keep your information safe.
