YOUR PRIVACY

For proper treatment, it is necessary that I, as your treating therapist, keep a client file. This is also a legal obligation under the Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO). Your file contains notes about your state of health and details of examinations and treatments performed.

The file also includes information necessary for your treatment that I have requested from other healthcare providers, such as your general practitioner, but only after your explicit consent.

I do my utmost to safeguard your privacy. This means, among other things, that I:

- handle your personal and medical data with care

- ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to your data

As your treating therapist, I am the only person who has access to your file. I am legally bound by professional confidentiality (duty of confidentiality).

The data in your file may also be used for the following purposes:

- to inform other healthcare providers, for example when therapy has ended or if you are referred to another practitioner (only with your explicit consent)

- for substitution during my absence

- for anonymized use during professional peer review

- a small part of your data is used for financial administration, so that I or my administrator can prepare an invoice

Your file will be transferred to my substitute in case of long-term absence or if I stop my practice.

If I wish to use your data for any other purpose, I will first inform you and ask for your explicit consent.

Your client file will be kept for 20 years, as required by law under the Medical Treatment Contracts Act.

PRIVACY ON THE INVOICE

The healthcare invoice you receive contains the information required by your health insurer so that you can submit the invoice for reimbursement:

- your name, address, and place of residence

- your date of birth

- the date of treatment

- a brief description of the treatment, such as “naturopathic treatment” or “psychosocial consultation”
