Can National Jewish Health disclose my protected health information (PHI) without my permission?
Yes. National Jewish Health can disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, and hospital operations. Also, the law sometimes requires us to disclose your PHI. We will notify you of these disclosures when the law requires us to do so. We may disclose your PHI to public health agencies who collect the information for purposes of controlling disease or injury, including reporting communicable diseases and domestic abuse. We may also disclose your PHI to authorized Federal officials conducting national security activities. We may disclose your PHI to the agencies that oversee healthcare systems so that they can perform audits, investigations, or inspections. We may also disclose your PHI to companies who are required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to track products, to report product problems, or to make product repairs. We may disclose PHI in response to court orders or to subpoenas. We may also disclose PHI to law enforcement agencies when we believe the disclosure is necessary
