Website Forms and Communications
Our website may provide forms that allow you to contact Atlanta Plastic Surgery, request a consultation, or request additional information. Information submitted through these forms may be transmitted to Atlanta Plastic Surgery and service providers that assist us in operating our website and responding to inquiries. General website forms should not be used to submit highly sensitive medical information or for urgent medical needs. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek appropriate emergency medical care.
Patient Forms
Atlanta Plastic Surgery provides downloadable patient forms through our website for the convenience of our patients. These may include patient information forms, medical history forms, billing documents, medical records authorizations, procedure-specific questionnaires, photograph consent forms, and privacy information.
Some of these forms request sensitive medical, insurance, or identifying information. The availability of a blank form on our website does not mean that completed forms should be submitted through a general website form. Please follow the instructions provided by Atlanta Plastic Surgery for returning completed patient documents. For example, APS’s Medical Records Release currently provides specific instructions for returning that authorization and explains patients’ rights concerning the disclosure and revocation of authorization for PHI.
Online Bill Payment
Atlanta Plastic Surgery provides a link to a third-party online payment service for the convenience of our patients.
When you select the online bill payment option, you will leave the Atlanta Plastic Surgery website and be directed to a third-party payment portal. Information you provide through that service is subject to the privacy, security, and other applicable policies of the third-party provider.
Atlanta Plastic Surgery does not operate the third-party payment website.
Protected Health Information and HIPAA
Atlanta Plastic Surgery, P.C. is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our patients’ medical information.
Information created, received, or maintained by Atlanta Plastic Surgery in connection with providing healthcare may constitute protected health information (“PHI”) and is subject to additional protections under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and other applicable laws.
Our Notice of Privacy Practices explains how medical information may be used and disclosed, our responsibilities for protecting that information, and your rights regarding your medical records.
Patient Photographs
Atlanta Plastic Surgery may take photographs in connection with patient care. The use and disclosure of those photographs are governed by applicable patient authorizations and privacy requirements.
Atlanta Plastic Surgery maintains a separate Patient Photograph Release Form through which patients can specify whether photographs may be used on the Internet, in broader media, or solely for their medical care.

Website hosting and operation
Analytics and website measurement

Other technology and administrative services
We may also disclose information when required by law or legal process, when necessary to protect our rights or the rights and safety of others, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
