2. NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES - How we protect the confidentiality of your health care records
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get success
to this information. Please review it carefully.
What this notice does for you: This notice tells you the ways Community Counseling Center may use and disclose
medical/treatment information about you. It also describes you rights in regard to this information, and it details
certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of this information. We are committed to protecting
your confidentiality treatment information. Furthermore, we require by law to make every effort to endure that
any health information that identifies you in any way is kept private. We are also required to give you this Notice
of Privacy Practices, and to make certain that the terms of the notice currently in effect are followed.
Our Responsibilities: The following categories describe the different ways we use and disclose health information.
For each category of use or disclosure we will explain what we mean and try to give some examples. Not every
use or disclosure in a category will be listed, but the way we are permitted to use and disclose information will fall
into one of these categories. Regardless of the category, we must obtain an authorization for any use or disclosure
of psychotherapy notes except to carry out certain treatment, payment, or healthcare operations as noted below.
Psychotherapy notes means notes recorded in any medium by a health care provider who is a mental health
professional that documented or analyze the contents of the conversation held during a private, group, joint, or
family counseling sessions that are separated from the rest of the medical record. Psychotherapy notes excludes
medication prescription and monitoring , counseling sessions start and stop times, the modalities and frequencies
of the treatment furnished, results of clinical tests, and any summary of the following items: diagnosis, functional
status, treatment plan, symptoms, prognosis, and progress to date.
For Treatment: We may use medical information about you to provide you with medical treatment, care, or
services. The originator of psychotherapy notes may use those notes for your treatment. We may disclose
medical/treatment information about you to doctors, therapist, counselors, nurses, certified medical aids,
technicians, students, consultants, contracted staff, or other center personnel who are involved in taking care of
you at our facility. For example, if you are treated for depressions, it may be necessary to know that you have
been diagnosed with substance abuse because untreated substance abuse may impede the recovery from
depression. We may also disclose medical information about you to people outside the center who may be
involves in your medical care, either while you are a client or after your course of treatment is completed.
Examples of this may be physicians, other mental health and/or substance abuse professionals, or personnel from
other agencies who partner with us in providing services that are part of your care. If you would like us to share
information regarding your health/treatment status with your family members, you will be given the opportunity
to sign an authorization permitting us to do so. If you choose not to sign this, information will not be given without
a legal consent for the requesting party to obtain it, unless the appropriate authorization is received from you
prior to the request.
For Payment: We may use and disclose health information about you so that the treatment and services you
receive at Community Counseling Center may be billed to and payment collected from you, a government payer,
or third party. For example, we may need to give your health plan, Medicaid, or Medicare information about the
services you received at our center so we will be paid for these services. We also may tell Medicaid, Medicare, or
your health plan about a treatment modality you are going to receive to obtain prior authorization for that
treatment. If the services you are receiving are provided under federal or private grant, we may provide the agency
disbursing those funds for that grant with information about the services you have received so the grant funds
may be properly dispersed an applied.
For Operations: We may use and disclose information about you and the services you receive at our center for
operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the center and make sure that our clients receive
quality care. For example, we may use treatment information to review our care and services and to evaluate the
performance of our staff caring for you. We may use or disclose psychotherapy notes to our own training programs
in which students, trainees, or practitioners in mental health learn under supervision to practice or improve their
skills in group, joint, family, or individual counseling. We may also combine treatment information about many
clients to decide what additional services the center should offer, what services are not needed, and whether
certain new services warranted. We may remove information so others may use it to study mental health care
and substance abuse treatment, and the treatment delivery system, without learning who the specific clients are.
For Service Alternatives: We may use and disclose medical/treatment information to tell you about or recommend
possible service options or alternatives that may be of interest to you.

state, or local law.

Community Counseling Center - Telecounseling Information
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed both our personal and professional lives. With social
distancing in effect and the frustration of being not able to go out and socialize, web or telephone-based
treatment has become more common. Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool that for computers,
tablets, and smartphones that to meet online, with or without video. You can now have visual and audio contact
with your therapist or case manager from the safety and comfort of your home. Please review the following
information for your upcoming telecounseling or case management session.
Please read and sign all forms sent to you by CCC staff. In these forms you will find Community
Counseling Center’s client consents, policies, and procedures, as well as HIPPA and Federal Privacy
regulations.
Your appointments (individual and group sessions):
o Before your group or individual session begins, please move to in a private and confidential
setting in which you are comfortable. Turn off or remove televisions and other distractions.
o If your session is telephone only (not via Zoom), then wait for your counselor or case manager to
call you at your appointment time.
o If utilizing Zoom, click on the link provided in your email at the appropriate time. Your internet
browser or app will open and take you to a waiting room that was enabled before your session
to ensure confidentiality. Your counselor or case manager will then confirm your appointment
and let you into the session.
o If you are using Zoom for the first time, please click the email link to begin your session at least
five to ten minutes early to allow installation and your setting to be configured. If using Zoom for
a group session, any personal information that would be displayed, such as a phone number or
email, will be hidden by your counselor or case manager.
o If you are attending a group session, please follow all group rules as communicated by your
counselor or case manager. These rules are also included in your client paperwork.
Appointment attendance:
o If your session is telephone only and do not answer when your assigned counselor or case
manager call, you will be called again within 10 minutes. If you do not answer after two phone
calls, your session will be considered a “No Show”, and your appointment time may be given to
another client.
o If your session is via Zoom and you are not connected by the start of the appointment time, your
counselor or case manager will wait up to 10 minutes for you to connect. After this time, your
session will be considered a “No Show”, and your appointment time may be given to another
client. If you have trouble connecting, please call 702-369-8700 and inform staff. Your counselor
or case manager may call you to conduct your session via telephone only, or he/she may
reschedule your session depending on availability.
If you have any questions regarding telecounseling or case management, or would like further information
regarding CCC services and programs, please call 702-369-8700 to speak to your assigned counselor or case
manager, or email ccc@cccofsn.org and your email will be forwarded to the appropriate staff.
Thank you for trusting CCC during this difficult time. Stay safe.
