Compliance and Privacy Requests
Alafiora LLC
Your Privacy Is a Priority, Not a Policy
This page exists because your rights matter and because we believe that accessing them should be straightforward. Whether you have a question about how your personal information is used, a concern related to your rights under HIPAA or applicable state law, a request to access or correct your records, or a compliance matter you believe deserves our attention, this is the right place to bring it.
This form is monitored by Alafiora LLC and is logged for tracking and timely response. All submissions are handled with the same discretion that defines every aspect of this practice.
Please note: This form is not monitored for crisis or emergency situations. If you are in immediate distress or danger, please call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or 911. This form does not constitute clinical contact, and submitting it does not establish a therapeutic relationship with Dr. Esther Lapite-Garrett or Alafiora LLC.
Before You Submit
If your question is about scheduling, fees, or beginning therapy, please use our general inquiry form instead. This form is reserved for formal privacy and compliance matters, and routing your inquiry here may delay a response.
If your request involves Protected Health Information (PHI) from your clinical record, please be aware that identity verification will be required before we can fulfill your request. This is a HIPAA requirement that exists to protect you, not to create barriers.
Compliance and Privacy Request Form
What Happens After You Submit
We take every compliance and privacy request seriously. Here is what you can expect:
General privacy questions and non-clinical inquiries will receive a response within five to seven business days.
HIPAA-related requests, including requests to access, amend, or receive a copy of Protected Health Information, will be acknowledged within five business days of receipt. We will fulfill these requests within thirty days, as required by federal law. In complex circumstances, HIPAA permits a one-time thirty-day extension, which we will communicate to you in writing before the original deadline passes.
Breach-related concerns will be escalated immediately and addressed with priority. If we determine that a breach has occurred that affects your information, we will notify you within the timeframe required by applicable law.
We will contact you using the response method you selected above. If we are unable to fulfill your request for any reason, we will explain why and, where possible, suggest an alternative path forward.
