Question: 1 / 445

What information can a provider disclose without needing permission from the patient, as allowed by RCW 70.02.050?

To anyone who asks about the patient's condition

To other health care providers involved in the patient's care

Under RCW 70.02.050, a healthcare provider can disclose protected health information without the patient's permission to other healthcare providers involved in the patient's care. Option A is incorrect because a provider can only disclose information to individuals directly involved in the patient's care, not just anyone who asks. Option C is incorrect because information can only be disclosed for limited, specific reasons to certain public health authorities, not for any reason. Option D is incorrect because a provider can disclose health information to law enforcement only in certain emergency situations, not in all cases. This leaves option B as the correct answer.
