Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Good News Insurance Agency is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any Protected Health Information ("PHI") shared with us in the course of helping you evaluate and enroll in insurance coverage, in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and its implementing regulations.
What Is Protected Health Information?
PHI is individually identifiable health information that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health, the provision of health care to you, or payment for health care, when shared with us in connection with insurance services.
How We Use & Disclose PHI
We use and disclose your PHI only as needed to (1) provide insurance quotes and plan recommendations; (2) submit applications to insurance carriers you authorize; (3) respond to your questions and service requests; and (4) comply with legal, regulatory, and carrier requirements. We do not sell PHI. We do not use PHI for marketing without your written authorization.
Safeguards We Maintain
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect PHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These include access controls, secure transmission of sensitive data, employee training, and recordkeeping practices consistent with applicable laws.
Website Submissions
Information submitted through forms on this website is transmitted over the Internet. While we take reasonable steps to protect such information, please do not include detailed medical history or other sensitive health information in website forms or unencrypted email. To share sensitive information securely, please contact us by phone.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to (1) request access to PHI we maintain about you; (2) request corrections to inaccurate PHI; (3) request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures; (4) request an accounting of disclosures; and (5) file a complaint without fear of retaliation. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.
Not a Covered Entity Notice
Good News Insurance Agency acts as an independent licensed insurance agency. Depending on the specific service, we may operate as a Business Associate of a Covered Entity or in another capacity under HIPAA. Insurance carriers and health plans are responsible for issuing their own Notice of Privacy Practices governing their handling of your PHI.
Disclaimer
This disclaimer is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. It does not create a contractual obligation beyond what is required by applicable law. We may update this disclaimer from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
