This Privacy Policy explains how the Bluestone entities listed below collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information. References to “Bluestone,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean the particular Bluestone entity responsible for the applicable service and, where relevant, other listed Bluestone entities with which information is lawfully shared.

This Policy applies to information collected through http://www.bluestonehealth.com, Bluestone portals, applications, communications, care and benefit services, pharmacy services, brokerage and administration services, and offline interactions. It also applies to information about patients, members, dependents, website visitors, client and vendor contacts, healthcare providers, job applicants, employees, contractors, former workforce members, and other individuals whose information Bluestone processes.
If a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, plan notice, client notice, service-specific notice, consent, or authorization applies to particular information, that notice or authorization governs within its scope. If there is a conflict, the more specific notice or applicable law controls.
Bluestone may provide additional notices at or before the point of collection, including service-specific, workforce, state-specific, cookie, telehealth, recording, or consumer health data notices. Those notices supplement this Policy and control for the information and processing activities within their stated scope.
2. HIPAA and Other Health-Privacy Laws
Depending on the service and transaction, one or more Bluestone entities may act as a HIPAA covered entity, healthcare provider, health plan, business associate, subcontractor, service provider, third-party administrator, pharmacy-benefit administrator, broker, or other regulated organization. Bluestone enters into business associate agreements and other privacy and security agreements when required.
Protected health information is used and disclosed only as permitted by HIPAA, applicable state health-privacy laws, applicable Notices of Privacy Practices, valid authorizations, and governing agreements. This general Policy is not a substitute for any HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Where legally required, Bluestone applies additional protections to specially protected information, including substance-use-disorder records, reproductive-health information, psychotherapy notes, genetic information, HIV-related information, mental-health records, and other categories subject to heightened protection.

3.2 Sensitive personal information
Depending on the service, Bluestone may process sensitive personal information such as health information, account credentials, bank-account information, Social Security numbers or other government identifiers received through authorized eligibility or administrative files, precise geolocation if expressly enabled in an application, racial or ethnic information, tribal affiliation, genetic information, biometric information if used for authentication, and the contents of private communications. Bluestone limits the collection, use, and disclosure of sensitive personal information to purposes reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide the services, comply with law, protect security, and fulfill authorized business functions.
Bluestone applies data-minimization principles appropriate to its role and seeks to collect, use, retain, and disclose personal information that is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the disclosed and authorized purposes.
4. Sources of Personal Information

From employers, plan sponsors, health plans, benefit administrators, brokers, authorized representatives, and eligibility vendors.
From healthcare providers, pharmacies, pharmacy-benefit administrators, laboratories, claims administrators, hospitals, clinics, health-information exchanges, and other healthcare organizations.

6. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools
Bluestone may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other automated tools for claims analysis, clinical-risk identification, care-gap detection, operational analytics, fraud and security review, call or communication transcription, drafting or summarization support, member outreach support, and similar authorized purposes.
Bluestone uses de-identified information when reasonably feasible. When identifiable health information is processed, Bluestone uses systems and vendors that are intended to support HIPAA and other applicable privacy and security requirements, including appropriate contractual protections.
Automated tools generally support, rather than replace, human judgment. Clinical decisions remain subject to review by qualified healthcare professionals, and material benefit, employment, or administrative decisions are subject to appropriate human oversight where required by law or Bluestone policy.
Bluestone does not authorize vendors to use Bluestone personal information or protected health information to train general-purpose artificial-intelligence models for the vendors’ independent purposes. Vendors may process information only for authorized services and subject to applicable contracts, privacy restrictions, and security requirements.
7. How We Disclose Personal Information
Bluestone may disclose personal information only as permitted by law, applicable notices, authorizations, and contracts, and as reasonably necessary for the following purposes:
To provide services to individuals, employers, plan sponsors, health plans, clients, or authorized representatives. Employment alone does not authorize an employer to receive an individual’s protected health information.
To healthcare providers, pharmacies, claims administrators, pharmacy-benefit administrators, insurers, stop-loss carriers, laboratories, benefit vendors, brokers, and other authorized healthcare or benefit partners.
To service providers that support hosting, communications, transcription, analytics, artificial intelligence, security, payment, claims, eligibility, document management, customer support, credentialing, professional services, and other business functions. These providers are contractually restricted from using information for unauthorized purposes.
To government agencies, regulators, auditors, accreditation organizations, courts, law-enforcement authorities, public-health authorities, or other parties when required or permitted by law.
To prevent, detect, or investigate fraud, security incidents, unlawful activity, or threats to health or safety.
To complete a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale, or transfer of all or part of a Bluestone business, subject to applicable confidentiality, privacy, and legal requirements.
To protect legal rights, enforce agreements, and resolve disputes.
For another purpose disclosed at collection or authorized by the individual or an authorized organization.
Bluestone does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable law. Bluestone does not disclose personal information to third parties for their independent direct-marketing purposes. Bluestone does not use protected health information for advertising or marketing except as expressly permitted by law and, where required, with authorization.
Telephone numbers and related consent are not shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Bluestone may provide telephone numbers to service providers acting on Bluestone’s behalf to deliver authorized communications, subject to contractual restrictions.
8. De-Identified and Aggregated Information
Bluestone may create, use, and disclose de-identified or aggregated information in accordance with applicable law. Where required, Bluestone maintains de-identified information in de-identified form and does not attempt to reidentify it except as permitted by law to test or validate de-identification processes or for another authorized purpose.
9. Cookies, Website Technologies, and Tracking
Bluestone’s public website uses only technologies reasonably necessary for site operation, security, authentication, user preferences, and basic performance measurement. Bluestone does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, advertising cookies, session-replay tools, or similar advertising or behavioral-tracking technologies on http://www.bluestonehealth.com as of the Last Updated date.
Bluestone does not place advertising pixels on authenticated portals or health-related pages and does not knowingly permit website technologies to receive protected health information for advertising purposes. Bluestone reviews website technologies and service providers based on the information they receive and the purposes for which they use it.
Browser settings may allow users to block or delete cookies, although some functions may not operate correctly if required cookies are disabled. Bluestone does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals because there is no uniform standard governing them. Where required by applicable law, Bluestone honors legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as requests to opt out of sale or sharing. Because Bluestone does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, such signals ordinarily confirm the user’s existing preference status.
10. Communications, Recording, and Choices
Bluestone may send administrative, care-related, benefit-related, security, and service communications as permitted by law. These communications may be necessary to provide services and may not be subject to a marketing opt-out.
Some calls, text messages, portal messages, telehealth sessions, or other communications may be recorded, monitored, or transcribed for quality assurance, training, documentation, security, care coordination, legal compliance, and other disclosed purposes. Bluestone provides notice and obtains consent where required before recording or transcription begins. Not all communications are recorded or transcribed.
Individuals may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message. Reply STOP to stop text messages from the sending number. Bluestone may send one confirmation message and may communicate through another lawful channel when necessary to provide care, administer benefits, protect an account, or comply with law.
11. Data Security and Incident Response
Bluestone maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information based on its sensitivity and the nature of the services. Safeguards may include access controls, authentication, encryption, workforce training, vendor oversight, security monitoring, incident-response procedures, backups, secure development and configuration practices, and secure transmission methods.
Bluestone uses secure transmission methods appropriate to the sensitivity and volume of the information, which may include secure file transfer, encrypted email, secure portals, encrypted application connections, and authorized payment platforms.
No system or transmission method is completely secure. Individuals should use the secure channel designated by Bluestone or the applicable client whenever available.
If a privacy or security incident requires notification, Bluestone will provide notice to affected individuals, clients, regulators, or other parties as required by applicable law and contract.
12. Data Location
Bluestone collects, stores, and processes client, member, patient, workforce, and other personal information in the United States. Bluestone requires its authorized service providers to maintain applicable client and member data, backups, support access, and system processing within the United States unless a specific exception is approved in writing and implemented with appropriate legal, contractual, privacy, and security safeguards. As of the Last Updated date, Bluestone does not intentionally process client or member information outside the United States.
13. Retention and Disposal
Bluestone retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide services, maintain required business and healthcare records, meet contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal, regulatory, professional, tax, claims-administration, litigation-hold, backup, and record-retention requirements.

Deletion may be limited where retention is required or permitted by law or contract. Where deletion is not permitted, Bluestone continues to protect the retained information and limits its use.
14. Individual Privacy Rights and National Request Process

Bluestone will request only information reasonably necessary for verification.
An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. Bluestone may require evidence of the agent’s authority and may separately verify the individual’s identity or confirm that the individual authorized the request.
Rights are not absolute. Bluestone may deny or limit a request where information must be retained or processed to provide healthcare, administer benefits, maintain claims or medical records, comply with law, protect security, exercise legal rights, or fulfill obligations to a client. If Bluestone processes information on behalf of another organization, Bluestone may direct the request to that organization or assist it in responding.
Bluestone will not discriminate or retaliate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right. Where an appeal right applies, send the appeal to info@bluestonehealth.com with the subject line “Privacy Appeal.”
