HIPPA allows me to use or disclose confidential information (including but not limited to PHI) for the purposes of treatment, payment and health care operations (see Notice for definitions) with your informed written consent, signified by signing this document.

In all cases I will try to disclose only the information that is minimally necessary to meet the needs of the situation.
