Gillespie Wellness is a practice name shared by two independent health care practices: the practice of Dr. Michael Gillespie and the practice of Dr. Lily Yeh Gillespie. Each is a separate sole proprietorship. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “the practices” mean both practices, and this policy applies to each of them. We provide chiropractic, acupuncture, and related care at our shared offices in Manhattan, New York and Princeton, New Jersey. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, our intake forms, and our appointment reminders, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Your health information and HIPAA
As a health care provider, we protect your health information consistent with the standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and in compliance with applicable New York and New Jersey professional-practice and consumer-protection laws governing patient records. The sections below describe how we handle your information and what choices you have.
Information we collect
- Contact and identity details: name, date of birth, mailing address, phone numbers, and email address.
- Insurance information: carrier, member ID, and policyholder details, when you give them to us so we can prepare a Health Insurance Claim Form (superbill) for you to submit to your insurance.
- Health information: the health history you give us on intake forms, and the clinical notes and records created during your care.
- Appointment history: the dates, times, and providers of your visits.
- Website data: this website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Like any website, our hosting provider receives standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) when you visit, and our web fonts are served by Google Fonts.
How we use it
- To provide, coordinate, and document your care.
- To schedule appointments and send you appointment reminders.
- To bill you for services, and to prepare a Health Insurance Claim Form (superbill) that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
- To meet our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who we share information with
We share information only as needed to run the practices, consistent with HIPAA standards:
- Between the two practices. The practices share offices and some administrative systems, such as scheduling and appointment reminders. Each practice maintains its own patient records; your chiropractic chart with Dr. Michael and your acupuncture chart with Dr. Lily are separate records. Information from one chart is not shared with the other practitioner without your written permission, except as reasonably necessary to coordinate your care within this office or as required by law.
- If you ask us to assist with your insurance (for example, by giving you a Health Insurance Claim Form or superbill that you submit yourself), we provide only the information needed for that purpose. We do not submit claims on your behalf.
- Other providers involved in your care, with your permission or as the law allows.
- Service providers that help us operate: an email provider that delivers our appointment emails, Cloudflare (which hosts this website and secures the connection to our online intake form), and an electronic-signature service when we send you documents to sign. Each receives only the information needed for its task.
- When required by law, such as in response to a valid court order or a public-health reporting requirement.
How we protect it
Patient records are kept on computers that the practices control in our office. Off-site backups are encrypted before they leave the office. Our online intake form is sent over an encrypted connection directly to our office systems.
Standard email is not encrypted end to end. For that reason our reminders carry only the minimum details needed — never visit reason, diagnosis, or treatment information. By opting in to email reminders, you accept that those messages travel over ordinary email networks.
How long we keep it
We keep medical records for as long as New York and New Jersey law require, and longer where needed to continue your care.
Your choices and rights
- You may ask to see or get a copy of your health records, or ask us to correct them, by contacting the practice that cares for you, at either office. We will respond consistent with applicable New York and New Jersey law.
- You may ask to stop email reminders by contacting us.
- You may ask how your information has been shared.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13. Information about minor patients is provided by, and managed with, a parent or guardian.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
