You ask, we answer
The answer depends on whether the free clinic meets the definition of a “covered entity” under HIPAA. Covered entities under HIPAA are individuals, institutions, or organizations that transmit protected health information (PHI) electronically in transactions for which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has adopted standards.

The HIPA Privacy Rule is balanced to protect an individual’s privacy against the valid interest of law enforcement agencies. HIPAA permits covered entities to disclose protected health information (PHI) to law enforcement officials, without the individual’s written authorization, under specific circumstances.
