We may also disclose medical information to members of your family or others who can help you when you are sick or injured, or after you die.

We may also disclose information to someone who is involved with your care or helps pay for your care.
Marketing. Provided we do not receive any payment for making these communications, we may contact you to give you information about products or services related to your treatment, case management or care coordination, or to direct or recommend other treatments, therapies, health care providers or settings of care that may be of interest to you. We will not otherwise use or disclose your medical information for marketing purposes or accept any payment for other marketing communications without your prior written authorization.
