Lets a specific person — a family member, lawyer, or caregiver — receive your medical records from a specific provider. Federal form (45 CFR § 164.508) — same in every state.

Tells doctors what care you want — or don't want — if you can't speak for yourself. Names a healthcare agent to make decisions if needed. Pairs with a HIPAA release.

When one party shares confidential info and the other party is the recipient (most common: a startup pitching investors, or a client briefing a contractor on private specs). Tighter than a mutual NDA.
