About My Practice

 

The name of my practice comes from scriptures. One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 12:2 where we are encouraged to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  In 2 Corinthians 4:16, we are told that in relationship with Jesus, we are being renewed day by day - -it's an ongoing process - for life.

The name of my practice comes from scriptures. One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 12:2 where we are encouraged to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  In 2 Corinthians 4:16, we are told that in relationship with Jesus, we are being renewed day by day - -it's an ongoing process - for life.  

Long after these words were issued by God, scientists learned that our brains are characterized by neuroplasticity - which means that what we think and feel and understand is altered over time and experiences. 

Through the collaborative work of counseling, you can experience positive transformation in your life from the inside out!

Important Client Rights

  

Your Health Information Rights

You have the right to:

• Obtain a paper copy of the notice of information practices upon request;

• Inspect and obtain a copy of your health record;

• Request that your health record be amended;

• Request communications of your health information by alternative means or at alternative location; and

• Receive an accounting of disclosures made of your health information;

*Request a restriction on certain uses and disclosures of your information; however, Wendy L.K. Barnes, LPC is not required to agree to a requested restriction

As a client of counseling, you have the right to request to access your confidential record. In some cases, the request will be denied on an ethical basis. In such a case, I am required to provide you a signed notice of such. A reasonable fee will be charged for any copies provided or for a written summary of your record and treatment with some exceptions. Additionally, you may request that information in your confidential record be altered. However, this request may be denied and again, I am required to provide you with a signed notification of such.

I am required to provide you access and/or copies of your record, as ethically deemed appropriate, within 15 days of your request, during regular business hours.

Per HIPPA updates, effective September 23, 2013, you:

1) Have the right to restrict certain disclosures of Protected Health Information (PHI) to a health plan if you pay out-of-pocket in full for the healthcare service.

a. This means that if you do not wish to inform your insurance of your treatment and/or diagnosis, you would elect private pay and not file a claim for reimbursement and therefore no superbill/medical invoice would be necessary or provided. (Insurance companies require a diagnosis on a claim).

2) Have the right to be notified if there is a breach of your unsecured PHI. 

a. I will notify you in writing, either via regular mail or e-mail (if you have endorsed permission on your client information packet) within 60 days if such a breach has occurred and will inform you of the following:

i. A brief description of the breach, including dates

ii. A description of types of unsecured PHI involved

iii. The steps you should take to protect against potential harm

iv. A brief description of the steps I have taken to investigate the incident, mitigate harm, and protect against further breaches

v. My contact information

3) Must sign an authorization before your PHI will be released for any uses and disclosures not stated on page 1 of this notice.

Complaints – Notice to Clients:

You may complain to Wendy L.K. Barnes, LPC, and the Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint.
