THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU (AS A PATIENT OF THIS PRACTICE) MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO YOUR INVIDIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION.

PLEASE REVIEW THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

Our practice is dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your individually identifiable health information (IIHI). In conducting our business, we will create records regarding you and the treatment and services we provide to you. We are required by law to maintain the confidentiality of health information that identifies you. We also are required by law to provide you with this notice of our legal duties and the privacy practices that we maintain in our practice concerning you IIHI. By federal and state law, we must follow the terms of the notice of privacy practices that we have in effect at the time.

We realize that these laws are complicated, but we must provide you with the following important information:

  • How we may use and disclose you IIHI
  • Your privacy rights in you IIHI
  • Our obligations concerning the use and disclosure of you IIHI

The terms of this notice apply to all records containing you IIHI that are created or retained by our practice. We reserve the right to revise or amend this Notice of Privacy Practices. Any revision or amendment to this notice will be effective for all of your records that our practice has created or maintained in the past, and for any of your records that we may create or maintain in the future.

WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION (IIHI) IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS
The following categories describe the different ways in which we may use and disclose your IIHI.

1. Treatment – Our practice may use your IIHI to treat you. For example, we may ask you to have laboratory tests (such as blood or urine tests), and we may use the results to help us reach a diagnosis. We might use your IIHI in order to write a prescription for you, or we might disclose your IIHI to a pharmacy when we order a prescription for you. Many of the people who work for our practice – including, but not limited to, our doctors and nurses – may use or disclose your IIHI in order to treat you or to assist others in your treatment. Additionally, we may disclose your IIHI to others who may assist in your care, such as your spouse, children or parents.
Finally, we may also disclose your IIHI to other health care providers for purposes related to your treatment.

2. Payment – Our practice may use and disclose your IIHI in order to bill and collect payment for the services and items you may receive from us. For example, we may contact your health insurer to certify that you are eligible for benefits (and for what range of benefits), and we may provide your insurer with details regarding your treatment to determine if your insurer will cover, or pay for, your treatment. We also may use and disclose you IIHI to obtain payment from third parties that may be responsible for such costs, such as family members. Also, we may use your IIHI to bill you directly for services and items. We may disclose your IIHI to other health care providers and entities to assist in their billing and collection efforts.

3. Health Care Operations – Our practice may use and disclose your IIHI to operate our business. As examples of the ways in which we may use and disclose your information for our operations, our practice may use your IIHI to evaluate the quality of care you received from us, or to conduct cost-management and business planning activities for our practice. We may disclose your IIHI to other health care providers and entities to assist in their health care operations.
Disclosure Required By Law – Our practice will use and disclose your IIHI when we are required to do so by federal, state or local law.

Not good for pediatric patients . Long wait time, so had a lot of ppl waiting. Would not let me wait on chaira... outside of xray room but rather in the outside waiting room even though my child was only 10. Don’t take pediatric patients if you can’t properly accommodate one guardian.read more

Dr. Badia is an outstanding Dr and surgeon. I first sought his expertise, in late 2013, after a misdiagnosis and a... botched surgery by another Dr that left me with unbearable pain and unable to move my right hand for months. After doing some research online, looking for some excellent hand surgeons, a lot of articles came up praising Dr. Badia's expertise and competence. I sent him an email explaining what happened, how the pain started and asked for his opinion. To my surprise, I received a thorough response the same day with detailed information. I right then decided to drive 4hours to go see him; I must say it was the best decision I made. From the 1st visit, Dr. Badia performed surgery to fix the initial issue and later did another surgery to correct the botched one; I couldn't be happier with the results. Earlier this year, I slipped and injured my left wrist. I made another trip to Miami and once again Dr. Badia came to the rescue. He did surgery on my left wrist after the conservative treatment didn't fully help and at the same time did a cubital nerve release on my right elbow that instantly stopped the pain I've been having. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Badia; he's a true expert and an outstanding surgeon. His staff is very kind, professional, friendly and truly cares.read more

My husband and I contacted Dr Badia for my hand issues. I had researched approximately five hand specialists in... Florida and one in New York city before I found Dr Badia about an hour away from us. My husband and I went to Doral, Florida and the minute I met Dr Badia I knew he was going to do my surgery. He has personality plus !!! and loves what he does. He is kind, patient and listens to his patients. He respects your hands ! Dr Badia was highly recommended and I am so glad that we found him. He did the surgery on my hand and with a bit of rehab it healed better than I expected and my pain was gone ! Dr Badias office personnel are wonderful ! It is quite obvious that they love working there with him and that they love their jobs. My husband and I have never experienced an office with so many helpful and caring people. We both recommend Dr Badia. We still drive to his office for anything to do with hand issues and he takes care of whatever it is. We both trust our hands ONLY to him ! He is a gem.read more

I first contacted Dr. Badia's clinic after I injured my hamate bone. I needed a surgery and someone in my family that... knew Dr. Badia convinced me that he was one of the best if not the best hand surgeon in the world. I am a high level Baseball player so I needed treatments in order to get back on the field as soon as possible. I have been able to book an appointment the next week which was great. I'm Canadian which made it tougher with my insurance company, but Dr. Badia's team has been really helpful with that, they sent numerous emails and even made some calls with the company to make sure I would not have any fees related to the consultation and surgery. The surgery went really well, without any complication and I don't think it would have been as quick and easy with anyone else than Dr. Badia and his team. I would definitively recomand Badia Hand to Shoulder Center to anyone in the need of treatments.read more

I injured my shoulder right as we entered into a lockdown due to a pandemic. It was next to impossible to get anyone to... see me and assess my injury. Dr. Badia and his team, following carefully laid out safety protocols, were able to bring me in, have x-rays, MRI and thorough review of the findings all in ONE visit!!! I was given an interim treatment plan to bridge the gap as surgeries were restricted due to COVID-19. As soon as surgeries resumed, I was scheduled for my procedure. To say that both Dr. Badia and his team are amazing is an understatement. They helped me handle a difficult insurance approval process to ensure I had the best surgeon treating me and my procedure at The Surgery Center at Doral and communication with my PCP and Cardiologist was excellent. Everyone made me feel very safe and confident that I was in the best possible setting where I wouldn’t be exposed to needless risk in a traditional hospital. The results of my surgery so far have been amazing. I’ve had next to no pain post-op and my recovery is coming along at lightning speed thanks Dr. B’s amazing talent and the dream team he has at OrthoNow where I have been undergoing physical therapy. I couldn’t say enough good things about him and the team. His expertise and dedication to providing the best possible care using cutting edge technology make for patient centered care and well being vs. insurance driven red tape so often seen today. Highly recommend Dr. Badia!read more

I went to Dr. Badia with a bad infection in my nail. He is so good at what he does and took care of me with such... concern. Gigi is the sweetest, cutest thing ever, who also made sure that I was comfortable and helped so I would not be nervous. The whole staff makes you feel like family. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart and I would recommend Dr. Badia's expertise and his office to anyone. So, if you have an injury or a problem, please go see him.read more

Dr Badia is the best orthopedic surgeon in Miami hands down. I need surgery because of a multiple fracture in my left... forearm. Went to other doctors (UM, mount Sinai) and they didn’t promise me I would recover 100% of my injuries and told me I would not be able to do sports again. Dr Badia did tell me I would heal 100% and it’s true. I did a much simpler surgery and fixed me in no time. Would recommend to anyone. Two thumbs upread more

From the first call I made to Dr. Badia‘s office I was impressed by the professionalism of the person who answered the... phone. When I arrived at the office for my appointment I was once again greeted in a professional manner. This professionalism radiated through all of the team. I hadn’t seen Dr. Badia for over 10 years and he greeted me as if we’ve been in contact with each other for years.read more

From my first visit the staff as well as the Dr. Badia have been exceptionally professional and caring. I had an injury... to my pinky finger, the required a placement of a rod in order to align. The surgery went well and was scheduled right away. The office staff has been amazing with scheduling and confirming appointments. Overall I am very happy with the care i received as well as the results. My finger healed and my range of motion has also gotten much better. Thank you Dr. Badiaread more
