If you are present at or prior to the use or disclosure of your PHI, we may use or disclose your PHI if you agree, or if we can reasonably infer from the circumstances, based on the exercise of its professional judgment that you do not object to the use or disclosure.  If you are not present, we will, in the exercise of professional judgment, determine whether the use or disclosure is in your best interest and, if so, disclose only the PHI that is directly relevant to the person's involvement with your care. 

Uses and/or disclosures, other than those described above, will be made only with your written Authorization. You may revoke your authorization to us at any time, however, your revocation must be in writing.
