The parties may by mutual agreement meet more often than the prescribed number of times set forth above. It is further agreed that the provisions of this Section will in no way be construed as broadening the scope of other Sections of this Agreement or as a whole, nor will these provisions make any matter a grievance that would not be a grievance in the absence of these provisions, nor make any matter a mandatory subject of discussion at any time other than at the consultations described in this Section that would not be a mandatory subject of discussion in absence of the provisions of this Section. The Committee and/or the Association will respond in writing thirty (30) days after a consultation when an answer is either appropriate or required to resolve questions raised during the consultation. Any Agreement reached with the Committee will be reduced to writing, will be signed by the Committee and the Association, and will become an addendum to this Agreement.

PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATIONS. Your doctor may occasionally find it helpful to consult other professionals about a case. During a consultation, your doctor will make every effort to avoid revealing the identity of the patient. The consultant is also legally bound to keep the information confidential. If you don’t object, we will not tell you about these consultations unless we feel that it is important to our work together. • Dual relationships or conflicts of interest. We may discover, for example, that we both know another person, who might be a friend or acquaintance, or a former or current client. We may even have to stop meeting if that happens. • Contracts with third parties. For example, your insurance company or someone else paying for these services may have access to our records for audits and quality assurance. At minimum, an insurance company, billing service, referring employer or lawyer will know that we are meeting. • We maintain treatment and business records, including correspondence and billing data, in electronic (“digital”) format rather than paper whenever possible. We take reasonable precautions to ensure that all information is stored, transmitted and backed up securely. No unauthorized persons have access to our paper or digital records. However, we do not guarantee or indemnify against loss or disclosure of information caused by physical or identity theft, damage to equipment or storage systems, or other events beyond our control.
