Yeah it covers that, but i thought it was guidelines about safeguarding private health info in general. Like you can't disclose to family members at times. But maybe that's another law.

When i was in s hospital even the slip that came on the food tray with what i ordered had a warning that it couldn't be discarded in regular trash because it had private health information.

All you really could actually do is infer that if someone had a certain diet, they might have heart disease or something like that. But the lawyers made them protect the info. The next time I was in, they changed to where the name was at the top and they tore it off when delivering the food. So the slip was no longer private health info.
