Under HIPAA, a health care provider may disclose protected health information (PHI) to another provider or to a covered entity, including a managed care organization or other health plan, to facilitate treatment, including the provision, coordination, or management of health care and related services by one or more health care providers, without the authorization of an individual. 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, § 164.501 and § 164.506(c)(1) and (2). In addition, HIPAA permits a health care provider to disclose PHI, without the authorization of an individual, to public health authorities -- such as local health departments and family health administration programs of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene -- that are authorized by law to collect or receive such information for the purposes of preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability, including but not limited to the reporting of disease, injury, or vital events such as birth or death, and conducting public health surveillance. 45 C.F.R. § 164.512.
