C is the correct answer! Providers can't disclose if clients self-pay.

I thought the law was pretty strict about this, so I’m leaning towards C, but I’m not completely confident.

I recall a practice question that mentioned providers have some discretion, but I can't remember if that means they can choose not to disclose. Was it A or C?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed something about waivers in class. Could it be D?

I think I remember that if a client opts to self-pay, the provider has to respect their wishes about not informing the insurance. So, maybe it's C?
