Provides that a health care provider or health care facility may disclose health care information about a patient without the patient's authorization if the disclosure is to federal, state, or local law enforcement authorities, when the health care provider is providing medical care in a health care facility immediately after a motor vehicle accident to a person reasonably believed to be the operator of a motor vehicle involved in the accident and the health care provider becomes aware, as a result of any blood test performed in the course of that treatment, that the person's blood alcohol level meets or exceeds the legal limit. |
