Uses and Disclosures of Medical Information that Do Not Require Your Authorization
The following categories describe different ways that we may use and disclose
medical information without your authorization. We will
explain what we mean for each category of uses or disclosures, but not every
use or disclosure in a category will be listed. However, all the ways we are
permitted to use and disclose information without your authorization should
fall within one of the categories.
We will use your health
information for treatment.
- For example:
Revive may disclose
medical information about you to doctors, nurses,
technicians, medical students or other personnel who are involved in
taking care of you. Revive may share medical
information about you in order to coordinate different treatments, such as prescriptions and lab
work. We also may provide
your physician or a subsequent health care provider with copies of various reports to assist in treating
you once you are discharged from care at Revive.
We will use your health
information for payment.
- For example:
A bill may be sent to you or a third-party payer. The information on or accompanying the bill may include
information that identifies you, as well as your diagnosis, procedures and
supplies used.
We will use your health
information for regular
health care operations.
- For example: Revive may use the information in your health record to assess the care an outcome in your case and
others like it. This information will then be used in an effort
to continually improve the
quality and effectiveness of the health care and services we provide.
We will use and disclose
your health information as otherwise allowed
by law. Examples of those uses and disclosures follow:
- Business associates: There
are some services
provided in our organization through
agreements with business associates. Examples include answering services and copy services. To protect your health information, however, we
require business associates to appropriately safeguard your information.

Unless you
object, we may use or disclose information to notify or
assist in notifying a family
member, a personal
representative or another
person responsible for your care about your location and general condition.

involved in your care: Unless you object, we may disclose to a
family member, another relative, a close personal
friend or another person
you identify, the health
information that is directly
relevant to that person's involvement in your health care or payment
for your health
care. If you are not able to agree or object to such disclosure, we may
disclose the information as necessary if we determine it is in
your best interest in our professional judgment.

your health information to public or private disaster relief organizations to coordinate your care or to notify your family or friends of your location or condition in a disaster. We will provide you with an

other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.

or apprehend an individual
involved in a crime.
- Special government functions: We may disclose health
information to authorized federal officials
for intelligence, counterintelligence and other national security activities
authorized by law, or for protective services to the President
