I would say the same way that they conform to HIPAA legislation now. It doesn't matter what the condition being treated is for, HIPAA still reigns supreme. The primary physician could be able to consult with another provider but as far as releasing personal health information (PHI), they can't (even to a family member unless the patient has given Power of Attorney or has signed a HIPAA release form.
