For example, results of laboratory tests and procedures may be available in your medical records to health professionals who may provide treatment or who may be consulted by staff members.

Payment: Your health information may be used to seek payment from your health care insurance, from other sources of coverage such as an automobiles insurer, or from insurance companies that you may use to pay for services. For example, your health plan may request to receive information on dates of service, the services provided, and the medical condition being treated.

For example, information on the services you received may be used to support budgeting and financial reporting, and activities to evaluate and promote quality.

Other Uses and Disclosures Required Your Authorization: Disclosure of your health information or its use for any purpose other than those listed above requires your specific written authorization.
