The correct answer to your question is A, this is because all the other options had information released to goverment based programs. these programs are based to help others, so it is not against HIPAA to share information with them. it is against the rules though for a doctor to release information about a celebrity client,, even if it is to use as a PSA.
let me know if you have any further questions
