Privacy Policy

Optima Healthcare respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with our team, request services, participate in healthcare or wellness programs, or otherwise interact with us. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of information we may receive, the purposes for which information may be used, circumstances in which it may be disclosed, and choices that may be available to you under applicable law. Privacy practices may also be supplemented by service-specific notices, consent forms, or other disclosures provided at the time information is collected.

1. Information We May Receive

• Personal and contact information: We may receive your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, date of birth, and other information you provide when communicating with Optima Healthcare or requesting services.
• Healthcare-related information: Depending on the service involved, information may include health concerns, medical history, medications, allergies, treatment-related information, laboratory information, appointment details, and communications with healthcare professionals.
• Insurance and coverage information: When you request assistance involving insurance services, we may receive information concerning your carrier, policy, eligibility, claims, benefits, or other coverage-related details necessary to provide the requested assistance.
• Account and transaction information: We may collect information associated with memberships, service requests, billing activity, appointment scheduling, and account administration.
• Technical and usage information: When you interact with our website, we may receive information such as browser type, operating system, device characteristics, IP address, pages visited, general interaction patterns, and other technical information. Where feasible, analytics may be configured to reduce direct identification.

2. Purposes for Using Information

Optima Healthcare may use information to respond to inquiries, arrange appointments, coordinate requested healthcare or wellness services, communicate with participating professionals, administer memberships, process applicable billing activities, assist with insurance-related requests, maintain service records, verify account information, provide appointment reminders, respond to support requests, evaluate and improve our operations, protect the integrity of our systems, and satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, or administrative requirements. We may also use information for other purposes that are explained when the information is collected or that are otherwise permitted by applicable law.

3. Health and Sensitive Information

Some information handled by Optima Healthcare may be considered sensitive personal information or protected health information under applicable law. We limit the use and disclosure of such information to purposes permitted by applicable requirements and the circumstances of the services involved. When healthcare information is collected directly in connection with professional care, additional privacy notices, authorizations, consent documents, or provider-specific requirements may apply. We encourage you to provide only information that is reasonably necessary for the service or request you are making.

4. Information We Do Not Sell

Optima Healthcare does not sell personal health information to advertisers or data brokers. We do not intentionally provide individual healthcare records to employers for employment-related decision-making. Information is not disclosed simply because a third party wishes to receive it. Disclosures are limited to appropriate purposes, applicable permissions, contractual arrangements, or legal requirements. Where consent or authorization is required for a particular disclosure, we will seek it in the manner required by applicable law.

5. When Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with healthcare professionals involved in providing or coordinating requested services, administrative or technology vendors supporting our operations, billing or claims partners where applicable, insurance carriers when necessary for an authorized request, and other service providers acting on our behalf. Certain disclosures may also be made to government agencies, courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other authorized parties when required or permitted by law. Vendors receiving information for operational purposes may be subject to contractual confidentiality and information-handling requirements appropriate to the services they provide.

6. Privacy and Security Measures

Optima Healthcare uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. Depending on the system and information involved, safeguards may include access restrictions, authentication controls, encryption where appropriate, secure transmission methods, employee confidentiality requirements, system maintenance procedures, and security-related reviews. No website, network, storage system, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users should exercise appropriate care when communicating sensitive information online.

7. Communications and Marketing

We may use contact information to send service-related communications, appointment notifications, account messages, administrative updates, or responses to requests you have submitted. Where permitted, we may also send information about programs, services, or other Optima Healthcare offerings. Marketing communications will include an available method for opting out when required. Choosing not to receive promotional messages will not generally prevent us from sending necessary administrative or service-related communications. You may also contact us to request assistance with your communication preferences.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, or similar technologies to support basic functionality, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, and maintain security. Some technologies may be necessary for requested website functions, while others may be optional depending on the configuration of the website. Your browser may provide controls for managing certain cookies. Disabling optional technologies may affect portions of the website, although we will make reasonable efforts to preserve essential functionality.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

• Access: You may have the right to request access to certain personal information maintained about you.
• Correction: You may request that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected, subject to applicable requirements.
• Copy: Depending on the information and applicable law, you may request a copy or electronic version of certain records.

• Restriction: In certain circumstances, you may request limits on particular uses or disclosures of your information.
• Marketing preferences: You may opt out of promotional communications using the available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting Optima Healthcare.

10. Retention of Information

Optima Healthcare retains information for periods appropriate to the purpose for which it was collected and consistent with applicable legal, regulatory, clinical, contractual, accounting, and operational requirements. Healthcare records may need to be retained for periods established by applicable rules or professional requirements. Certain administrative, billing, security, or legal records may also need to remain available after a service relationship ends. When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, destroyed, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable retention practices.

11. Children and Minors

Optima Healthcare does not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children through general website features. Certain healthcare or wellness services may involve minors where permitted and appropriate, and information concerning a minor may be provided by a parent, guardian, or other authorized representative. Additional consent, privacy, or authorization requirements may apply depending on the person's age, service, location, and applicable law. If you believe information concerning a minor has been submitted improperly, please contact our privacy team so the matter can be reviewed.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites, applications, scheduling services, insurance resources, or other third-party platforms. Those services may maintain their own privacy policies and information practices. Optima Healthcare does not control privacy practices on websites that it does not operate. Before submitting personal or health-related information to an external service, you should review the applicable privacy notice and understand how that provider may collect, use, store, or disclose information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, information practices, legal requirements, or operational procedures. When changes are made, the updated version will be posted on the website with a revised effective date or version number. We encourage you to review the policy periodically, particularly when using new services or features. Where applicable law requires specific notice or consent for a material change, Optima Healthcare will follow the requirements that apply to that change.

14. Privacy Requests and Complaints

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, believe that your information has been handled inappropriately, or wish to exercise a privacy right available to you, you may contact the Optima Healthcare privacy team through the contact information provided on the website. We may need to verify your identity and clarify the nature of your request before providing access to account-specific information. Requests will be reviewed and addressed within the timeframe required by applicable law.

15. Contact Our Privacy Team

For privacy questions, requests, or concerns, please contact Optima Healthcare through the privacy contact information published on our website or through the appropriate Member Care channel.
