Claris uses third-party electronic health record (“EHR”), patient portal, payment, and communication platforms in connection with patient care. The Claris website may include links that direct users to these services. Clinical intake information, medical records, billing information, and payment information are intended to be handled through authorized systems rather than stored directly on the public Claris website.

Claris may use third-party communication platforms to communicate with prospective and established patients. Communications involving health information may be subject to our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable privacy and security requirements.

Standard email and text messaging are not fully secure. When appropriate, we may direct you to our secure patient portal for communications involving health information. If you choose to communicate with us by standard email or text, you accept the risk that those messages could be intercepted or viewed by others. If we send appointment reminders or other administrative messages by text, we will do so only with your consent. You may opt out at any time. 

Claris does not intend to collect or store payment-card information directly through the public website. Payments are processed through authorized payment or patient-care systems. Third-party platforms may maintain their own privacy and security terms governing their technology.
