Our Commitment Regarding Your Protected Health Information
Play Travel Protection understands the importance of your Protected Health Information
(hereafter referred to as "PHI") and follows strict policies (in accordance with state and federal privacy
laws) to keep your PHI private.
PHI is information about you, including demographic data, that can reasonably be used to identify you
and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health, the provision of health care to
you, or the payment for that care.
In this notice, we explain how we protect the privacy of your PHI, and how we will allow it to be used
and disclosed. We are required to provide you with a summary of our Notice of Privacy Practices, and a
copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices upon request. We must follow the privacy practices described in
this notice while it is in effect.
This notice took effect February 18, 2010, and will remain in effect until we replace or modify it.
Play Travel Protection reserves the right to revise this notice in accordance with state or federal rules and statutes. Before
we make a material change to our privacy practices, we will provide you with a revised Notice of Privacy
Practices. Where multiple state or federal laws protect the privacy of your PHI, we will follow the
requirements that provide the greatest privacy protection.
Our Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information
