Disclosures for fundraising are permitted only if a statement of intent to use PHI for fundraising is included in the health care components' Notice of Privacy Practices. If this fundraising statement is included in the Notice, health care components may use or disclose demographic information and dates of health care provided to an individual to a business associate or institutionally related foundation for the purpose of fundraising for the benefit of the health care component.
Disclosures for fundraising that meet the above conditions may be made without written authorization. Use or disclosure of PHI for any other fundraising activity requires written authorization by the individual.
OPT- OUT REQUIREMENT
