Final answer:

PHI can be disclosed for public health purposes per HIPAA, but exceptions include psychotherapy notes and the individual's permission for releasing their information.


Explanation:

Protected Health Information (PHI) can be used and disclosed without authorization for specific public health purposes as permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule. One exception where disclosure without authorization is not permitted is releasing psychotherapy notes, which have a higher level of protection.

Another exception is when releasing information to the individual whose health information it is, as this requires the individual's permission. In all other cases, PHI can be disclosed for public interest, incidental purposes, or as required by law.
