When may confidentiality be overridden?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confidentiality may be overridden if an individual poses a threat to public health, such as if they have a communicable disease. A clinician can share information with a billing company as long as proper precautions are taken to protect patient confidentiality, and information may be shared with insurance companies only with the patient's consent. The availability of personal information on a computer does not necessarily require confidentiality to be overridden.
