At Bluegrass Specimen Collection (PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES OF KENTUCKY LLC), we respect privacy and handle patient identifiers with care and professionalism. Our operational approach is guided by HIPAA privacy principles, including limiting access and disclosure to the minimum necessary information required to perform specimen collection and coordinate delivery to authorized partners and designated laboratories.
Use of Patient Information (PHI)
We handle patient information only when necessary to fulfill requested specimen collection services and to support proper processing by the receiving entity. Patient information may be used or shared in limited circumstances such as:
-
Coordinating specimen drop-off with a designated laboratory that requires identifiers to process and report results
-
Coordinating with an ordering provider, agency, or authorized program (when applicable) to fulfill collection requirements
We do not use patient information for marketing or unrelated purposes, and we do not share it outside authorized entities involved in the requested service.
