Not sure if this helps answer the question:
http://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/hipaa/phi_protection.html
"4.When an individual is incapacitated or in an emergency, providers sometimes may use or disclose PHI, without authorization, when it is in the best interests of the individual, as determined by health care provider in the exercise of clinical judgment. The PHI that may be disclosed under this provision includes the patient's name, location in a health care provider's facility, and limited and general information regarding the person's condition."
Also, where would the bills for rehab, hospice be going? I guess a PO Box could have been set up.
