Your Rights
When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains your rights and some of our responsibilities to help you, and provides details to the summary included above.
Get an electronic or paper copy of your health information
You can send us a written request to the address listed below asking to see or get an electronic or paper copy of the health information we have about you. We will provide a copy or a summary of your health information, usually within 30 days of your request. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
Ask us to correct your health information
You can send us a written request to the address listed below asking us to correct or amend your health information that you think is incorrect or incomplete. We may say “no” to your request, but we’ll tell you why in writing within 60 days.
Request confidential communications
You can send us a written request to the address listed below asking us to contact you in a specific way (for example, home or office phone) or to send mail to a different address. We will say “yes” to all reasonable requests. Please submit all requests in writing to the address listed below.
Ask us to limit what we use or share
You can ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We are not required to agree to your request, and we may say “no” if it would affect your care. If you pay for a Tandem product or service out-of-pocket in full, you can ask us not to share that information for the purpose of payment or our operations with your health insurer. We will say “yes” unless a law requires us to share that information.
Get a list of those with whom we’ve shared information
You can ask for a list of the times we’ve shared your health information for six years prior to the date you ask, who we shared it with, and why. We will include all the disclosures except for those about treatment, payment, and health care operations, and certain other disclosures (such as any you asked us to make). We’ll provide one accounting a year for free but will charge a reasonable, cost-based fee if you ask for another within 12 months.
Get a copy of this privacy notice
You can ask for a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you have agreed to receive the Notice electronically. We will provide you with a paper copy promptly.
Choose someone to act for you
If you have given someone medical power of attorney or if someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your health information. We will make sure the person has this authority and can act for you before we take any action.
File a complaint if you feel your rights are violated
You can complain if you feel we have violated your rights by contacting us at compliance@tandemdiabetes.com or sending a letter to
Tandem Diabetes Care, Legal Department, 11075 Roselle Street, San Diego, CA 92121
You can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights by sending a letter to 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201, visiting www.hhs.gov/hipaa/filing-a-complaint/what-to-expect/index.html, or calling (877) 696-6775.
