A member asked:

If you no longer go to a md office and they decide to participate in a health information exchange, how would you know so you could opt out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question: My feeling is that if you have not seen this physician for some time or even just yesterday he/she would be reluctant to give out any of your personal health information without your written approval.
