Final answer:

Protected Health Information (PHI) disclosure rules under HIPAA allow sharing with eligible individuals or legal representatives for the patient's benefit.


Explanation:

Protected Health Information (PHI) can only be disclosed to an individual seeking health information for their aging parent if the individual is listed in writing as an eligible recipient or has legal documentation as the patient's power of attorney or in an advance health care directive.

Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), healthcare providers may share relevant information with family members or friends involved in the patient's healthcare under certain circumstances, such as when the patient is not present, and the provider believes sharing the information is in the patient's best interest.

Patients have rights over their health information, including the right to control who can access it and how it is shared, as outlined by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
