MCR ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

As an employee of Medical Capital Recovery, Inc. ("MCR") you may have access to what this agreement refers to as "confidential information." This agreement will help you to understand your responsibilities regarding access and protection of confidential information.

Confidential information includes patient information, financial information, other information relating to patient's records who are or were patients at MCR client health care and medical care providers as well as the financial records of those health care and medical care providers, and information proprietary to other companies or persons. You may learn of, or have access to, some or all of this confidential information through a computer system, direct patient contact or through your employment activities.

Confidential information is valuable and sensitive and is protected by law and by strict MCR policies. The intent of these laws and policies is to assure that confidential information will remain confidential; that is, it will be used only as necessary to accomplish the organization's mission. As a staff member you are required to conduct yourself in strict conformance to applicable laws and MCR policies governing confidential information. Your principal obligations in this area are explained below. You are required to read and to abide by these duties. The violation of any of these duties will subject you to discipline, which might include, but is not limited to, termination of employment and to legal liability.

As an MCR staff member you understand that you will have access to confidential information that may include, but is not limited to, information relating to:

o Patients (such as records, conversations, intake information, patient/member financial information, etc),
o MCR Staff (such as employment records, salary and wage information, performance evaluations, disciplinary actions, etc.),
o MCR information (such as financial and statistical records, strategic plans, internal reports, memos, contracts, peer review information, communications, proprietary computer programs, etc.) and
o Third party information (such as client medical and health care provider computer programs, financial recorders, processes, computer access codes, etc.).

Accordingly, as a condition of and in consideration of your access to confidential information, you promise that:

1. You will use confidential information only as needed to perform your legitimate duties as an MCR staff member. This means, among other things, that:

A. You will only access confidential information for which you have a need to know; and

B. You will not in any way divulge, copy, release, sell, loan, review, alter or destroy any confidential information except as properly authorized within the scope of your professional activities affiliated with the Center; and

C. You will not misuse confidential information or treat confidential information carelessly.

2. You will safeguard and will not disclose your access code or any other authorization you have that allows you to access confidential information. You accept responsibility for all activities undertaken using your access code and other forms of authorization.

3. You will report activities by any individual or entity that you suspect may compromise the confidentiality of confidential information. Reports made in good faith about suspect activities will be held in confidence to the extent permitted by law, including the name of the individual reporting the activities.

4. You understand that your obligations under this Agreement will continue after termination of your employment. You understand that your privileges hereunder are subject to periodic review, revision and if appropriate, renewal.

5. You understand that you have no right or ownership interest in any confidential information referred to in this Agreement. MCR may at any time revoke your access code, other authorization, or access to confidential information.

6. You will be responsible for your misuse or wrongful disclosure of confidential information and for your failure to safeguard your access code or other authorization to access confidential information. You understand that your failure to comply with this Agreement may also result in your loss of employment at MCR.
