 11 program independently, or through an otherwise lawful collaborative

 13 operated pursuant to section twenty-eight hundred five-j or twenty-nine
 14 hundred ninety-nine-r of this chapter, in which case the qualified group
 15 practice and the hospital or accountable care organization may share
 16 confidential information with each other for purposes of such practice
 17 without waiving confidentiality with respect to others.
