4115 REVIEW DENIED Although the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act gives a health care provider discretion to release general information concerning the nature of a patient's condition and treatment, the provider should carefully consider the circumstances before exercising such discretion; whether the information released is general in nature may be a question of fact; a provider is entitled to disclose medical information about a patient to the credit-card holder responsible for paying the bill.CitationCOLLEEN M v FERTILITY & SURGICAL ASSOC (Medical Disclosure) 132 CA4 1466 [See: CivC 56 etseq; Garrett v Young 109 CA4 1393, T/AT 8/03]
