Zus Patient Notice

Retention & Deletion · Restriction or exception

Opting out does not recall information already shared

Information Zus shared before your opt-out becomes effective remains with the organizations that received it. The choice therefore stops future network sharing when effective, rather than withdrawing copies already sent.

Retention & Deletion · Company practice

Zus may keep your information after a Zus-form opt-out

After an opt-out using the Zus form, Zus may still store and maintain your health information so your own provider can access and use it as needed to provide services to you. The notice directs people using a provider’s form instead to that provider’s form and FAQ materials; it does not establish the same consequences for that route.

Please note that this information only applies if you opt out of sharing using the Zus opt out form. If you opt out using your provider’s form instead, please review their opt-out form and FAQ policy materials instead.
