WTC, however, may use your health information, that is, information that constitutes protected health information as defined by the Privacy Rule of the Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), for the purposes of providing you services, obtaining payment for your care, and conducting health care operations.
