| Permitted Disclosures of PHI Friends and/or Family Members What should I do to determine if it is okay to disclose PHI about a coherent, competent patient to individuals who are with the patient or visiting the patient?Best practice it to ask the patient if it is ok to discuss his/her health condition with the person present. If the patient objects you can ask the person to leave that room or the immediate area while the conversation with the patient occurs.2 | |
