South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation must obtain your written consent before it can disclose information about you for payment purposes. For example, South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation must obtain your written consent before it can disclose information to your health insurer in order to be paid for services. Generally, you must also sign a written consent before South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation can share information for treatment purposes or for health care operations. However, federal law permits South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation to disclose information in the following circumstances without your written permission:

1. To South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation staff for the purposes of providing treatment and maintaining the clinical record
2. Pursuant to an agreement with a business associate (e.g. Clinical laboratories, pharmacy, record storage services, billing services)
3. For research, audit or evaluations (e.g. State licensing review, accreditation, South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation data reporting as required by the State and/or Federal government)

5. To medical personnel in a medical/psychiatric emergency
6. To appropriate authorities to report suspected child abuse or neglect

8. As allowed by a court order.

Before South Florida Advanced Rejuvenation Medical can use or disclose any information about your health in a manner which is not described above, it must first obtain your specific written consent allowing it to make the disclosure. Any such written consent may be revoked by you in writing. (NOTE: Revoking a consent to disclose information to a court, probation department, parole office, etc. may violate an agreement that you have with that organization. Such a violation may result in legal consequences for you.)
