§ 24-12-13 [Good Faith Immunity for Medical Information Transmission]

If a person or organization shares someone's medical information because the law requires it, or because the patient gave limited permission to share it, they cannot be sued for doing so. This protection applies as long as they acted in good faith, meaning they were honest and had no harmful intentions.

This rule protects hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and others who regularly handle medical records. As long as they follow the rules about when and how to share medical information, they are shielded from legal trouble for passing that information along.
