​

Paxton Medical Management understands that privacy of information is of great importance to our members and the people that visit our public Sites.

Privacy and Security on Password Protected Portions of Paxton Medical Management 
Some of Paxton Medical Management sites are password protected and require users to register and log-in (“Registered Users”). These Sites contain protected health information (PHI) or individually identifiable information about Registered Users and allow Registered Users to perform certain transactions (e.g. initiate a case). Because of this Paxton Medical Management  must be able to link a Registered User’s activity back to their identity, for example to verify identity in our systems and eligibility for Services. Therefore, in the password protected portion of our website, Paxton Medical Management does collect identifiable information about Registered Users. This includes information about the Registered User’s computer as listed above, and information related to the Registered User, such as pages visited and Services initiated. PHI collected by Paxton Medical Management about our members is available only to authorized users and is protected from unauthorized access by multiple layers of security controls and monitoring. In addition, PHI that is collected and maintained by Paxton Medical Management is used and disclosed only as described in the Member Release Form that you sign when you initiate Services with Paxton Medical Management.

​

Security

The confidentiality, integrity and availability of your PHI is important to Paxton Medical Management. To protect against unauthorized access to PHI that is accessible on the password-protected portions of our site, Paxton Medical Management has adopted stringent security standards. Information transmitted between your browser and the password-protected Sites is protected by 128-bit encryption. The verification and login processes established for access to the Portal are in place in order to protect the privacy and security of your PHI.

​

Cookies

We use “cookies” to help you better navigate the Portal. A “cookie” is a small piece of information sent by Paxton Medical Managements' web server to store on your Web browser. We use this information to tell if you have been given important messages about the functioning of this site. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can set your browser to refuse them or to alert you when they are being sent.

In some instances, but not all, you will be able to opt out of receiving emails. Paxton Medical Management does not disclose or sell your email address.

​
