HIPPA Release Form

This authorization shall remain in effect until (fill in expiration date) or until (fill in an event that relates to the individual or the purpose of the use or disclosure).

You have the right to revoke this authorization, in writing, at any time by sending such written notification to my office address. However, your revocation will not be effective to the extent that I have taken action in reliance on the authorization or if this authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage and the insurer has a legal right to contest a claim.

I understand that my psychiatrist generally may not condition psychiatric services upon my signing an authorization unless the psychiatric services are provided to me for the purpose of creating health information for a third party.

I understand that information used or disclosed pursuant to the authorization may be subject to redisclosure by the recipient of your information and no longer protected by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

If the authorization is signed by a personal representative of the patient, a description of such representative's authority to act for the patient must be provided.
