CCME Services, powered by Constellation Quality Health, is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of therapy providers and visitors to our ChoicePA website. We have created this web policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information and the public health information of Medicaid and Health Choice beneficiaries.

In order to access the Members Only section of this website, you must create a user account, including a unique userID. This unique userID will track your movement through our site.

Our primary purpose in collecting personal and organization information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient and customized experience. This allows us to provide services and features that will best meet your needs and to customize our service to make your experience safer and easier. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.

We use your personal information to facilitate the services you request. We use your personal information in the file we maintain about your organization and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the site to troubleshoot problems; measure consumer interest in our services; inform you about online and offline services and updates; customize your experience; detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; and as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. We may compare and review personal information for errors and omissions and for accuracy.

When you register, you agree that we may use personal information about your organization to analyze site usage, improve our content, customize the site’s content, layout and services, and improve our marketing efforts. These uses improve the PA site/project and tailor it to better meet your needs and provide you with a smooth, efficient, safe and customized experience while using the PA website.

Personally identifiable information or personal information is defined as information that identifies your organization and team members. It includes the name and address of your organization; name of the PA project administrator; contact phone number, fax number and email address for the project administrator; and names of team members at your organization.

We only collect personally identifiable information about your organization after you have specifically and knowingly provided such information to us. By voluntarily providing this information to us during the registration process, you will be consenting to the collection and use of your personal information by CCME Services.

If you provide personal information, such as your mailing or email addresses, telephone or fax numbers, or other demographic information, CCME Services will not share (disclose or sell) it to third parties. This information is strictly for use to complete prior authorization and will be used only by CCME Services staff or as requested by the North Carolina Division of Health Benefits.

We analyze traffic to this website in order to understand our members’ and visitors’ needs and to continually improve our site for them. The PA website automatically collects and records non-personally identifiable information, which is information that does not identify you personally, but becomes available to us as a result of your visit to our site. This information includes: date and time of visit, pages visited on our site, type of computer and browser the visitor is using, and the location of the visitor’s machine (by country, not street address). Many websites gather this information, though most do not notify visitors. We use this information to improve our services to you and do not share it with third parties.
