III. AUTHORIZED USES AND DISCLOSURES
Your written authorization is required for any use or disclosure of your PHI not covered in Section II above. If we wish to use or disclose your PHI for any other purpose, we will obtain your authorization before doing so. Your care will not be affected by your refusal to provide authorization.
