Participant Orientation Handbook

HIPAA Privacy Policy

This Notice of Privacy Practices is effective as of July 15, 2025, as amended.

This notice describes the privacy practices of Evansville Goodwill Industries, Inc. (EGI). EGI is required by law to maintain the privacy of protected health information. We are also required by law to provide you with this notice telling you about our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your protected health information. We also are required to follow the privacy policies and practices that are outlined in this notice.

HOW EGI MAY USE AND DISCLOSE HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

Health related information that we collect about you is called Protected Health Information (PHI). It is information that someone may use to identify you such as your name or address.

The three purposes for which we regularly collect, use and share protected health information are: 1) for treatment; 2) for payment; and 3) for program services operations. It is necessary that we use and share this information so EGI can provide services to you and so we can perform our mission. Since this is so, we are not required to get your permission prior to use or prior to sharing information with certain people. The information shared is the least amount that is necessary. The three types of information EGI regularly uses or shares are listed below:

1) For Treatment

EGI may use your health information to provide employment and training services to you. EGI may share health information about you to case managers, doctors or others who are involved in your employment and/or training activities. These people may work for us or for others such as health agencies to which EGI may refer you.

2) For Payment

EGI may use and share health information about you so that the treatment and services you receive from us may be billed and payment can be collected from an insurance company or another party. For example, EGI may need to give your employment, training plan or health information to your health insurance plan so they will pay EGI or reimburse you for visits or services received.

3) For Program Services Operations

EGI may use and share your health information for operations of EGI's employment and training programs. These uses and disclosures (sharing) are necessary to run EGI and to make sure that all of our consumers receive quality care. Two examples are: 1) EGI may use health information to do a quality review of our treatment and/or services; or 2) we may use information to evaluate the performance of our staff that provide services to and work with you. EGI may also combine health information about many consumers to decide what additional services we should offer, what services are not needed, whether certain new treatments are working, or to compare how EGI is doing with other organizations.

EXCEPTIONAL USES

Exceptional uses are out of the ordinary, limited uses that are not part of our daily work; however, they are necessary for the benefit of the public or for reasons that are in your best interest. In these situations, your permission to use or to share your health information is not required. The information is shared with limited people. The exceptional uses or sharing of information are:

Required By Law or for Law Enforcement

EGI may use or share information about you when required by federal, state, or local law. Examples are: 1) to report neglect and/or abuse; or 2) as required by a court order or warrant; or 3) to assist the police in finding a missing person.

To Prevent a Serious Threat to Health or Safety

EGI may use and share health information about you when it is necessary to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person. Any sharing of information would be limited to authorities that are able to help or prevent the threat. For example, providing information to the police so they can locate an escaped criminal.

Public Health Activities

Your information may be used or shared for public health reasons such as helping the public health authorities to prevent or control disease or so the FDA can recall defective products.

Health Oversight Activities

EGI may disclose health information to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law. For example, these oversight activities include: audits, investigations and inspections. These activities are necessary for the government to monitor the health care system, government programs, and/or compliance with civil rights laws.

Decedents

Health information may be shared with funeral directors or coroners so they can perform their lawful duties.

Organ/Tissue Donation

Your health information may be used or shared for cadaveric organ, eye or tissue donation purposes.

Research

EGI may use or share your health information for research purposes with an institutional review or privacy board that has evaluated the research proposal and they have a set of rules to make sure the privacy of your health information is maintained.

Government Functions

Your health information may be used or shared for specialized government functions such as protection of public officials (i.e. The President) or reporting necessary information to the various branches of the armed services.

Workers' Compensation

Your health information may be used or shared in order to follow laws and regulations related to Workers' Compensation.

OTHER USES

Other uses and sharing of information can occur only with your written authorization or approval.

You may cancel your authorization at anytime. We will honor the cancellation; however, any uses or sharing that have occurred prior to EGI's receipt of your cancellation are allowed.

Fundraising and Public Relations Activities

EGI may use your health information for public relations or to raise money for the organization. EGI will get your approval in all cases where your information might be shared with the public or those outside of EGI. You can also decide to agree to participate (opt-in) or to not be part of such activities. Doing so will not change or reduce the services you receive from us.

Third Parties

EGI will always get your permission prior to sharing your information with other people such as a landlord or a life insurance company unless it is an exceptional use described above or it is an emergency situation.

YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION RIGHTS

You have the following rights regarding the health information we maintain about you. Please contact the Vice President of Mission Services at (812) 474-2222 ext. 244 if you have questions about your privacy rights or if you want to exercise a right.
