The Coastal Neuro Care website is primarily intended for informational purposes, referral coordination, general communication, and operational contact requests.
This website is not intended for emergency communications, urgent medical requests, time-sensitive clinical management, or immediate treatment decisions.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency: Call 911 immediately, contact emergency services, or go to the nearest emergency department.
When referrals or inquiries are submitted through Coastal Neuro Care systems, information provided may include patient demographic information, referral details, facility information, provider information, clinical documentation, uploaded records, and contact information.
Submitted information may be reviewed for referral coordination, operational processing, scheduling review, clinical appropriateness assessment, and communication follow-up.
Submission of a referral request does not guarantee acceptance into care or establish a provider-patient relationship.

Electronic communications may carry inherent privacy and security limitations despite reasonable safeguards. Patients, caregivers, facilities, and referring providers should use discretion when transmitting sensitive information electronically.
Coastal Neuro Care may utilize AI-assisted technologies, automation systems, communication routing tools, transcription systems, workflow platforms, and operational support technologies to help improve communication efficiency, referral coordination, administrative workflows, documentation support, operational responsiveness, and call routing and intake management.
Examples may include AI-assisted phone systems, communication routing workflows, transcription technologies, workflow automation systems, and administrative summarization tools.
These systems are intended to support operational processes and do not replace licensed clinical judgment or individualized medical decision-making. Reasonable efforts may be made to utilize operationally appropriate privacy-conscious systems where applicable.
Certain patient interactions, referrals, communications, and healthcare operations may involve protected health information (“PHI”) as defined under applicable healthcare privacy laws, including HIPAA where applicable.
PHI may be used or disclosed when reasonably necessary for treatment coordination, referral processing, operational healthcare activities, communication with authorized providers or facilities, healthcare administration, and legal or regulatory compliance.
Additional privacy disclosures, authorizations, or consent forms may be provided separately during clinical onboarding or patient intake processes when applicable.
Coastal Neuro Care may utilize third-party operational systems or vendors to support website hosting, communication systems, referral workflows, operational coordination, analytics, scheduling support, documentation workflows, and administrative infrastructure.
Examples may include Microsoft operational systems, communication platforms, secure workflow systems, referral coordination technologies, analytics services, and cloud hosting infrastructure.
Third-party systems may maintain independent privacy practices and operational policies. While reasonable vendor selection considerations may be utilized, Coastal Neuro Care cannot guarantee absolute security of external platforms or internet-based technologies.
