Whose authority is needed for a health care provider to disclose health care information?
Generally, the patient himself has to sign an agreement allowing the health care provider to share health care information about himself with another person. Thus, for example, if the patient was going to a specialist, the patient would sign allowing his primary care doctor to give the specialist information. If the patient is under age 18, then the patient's parent or guardian would sign. Some adults may have a guardian -- adults who are mentally incompetent typically have a legal guardian. Insurers get information from providers about patient care and services billed. When the patient is at the office, he (or his guardian) signs allowing the provider to share information with the insurer. When you "sign out" at the doctor's office, you are signing a form that allows them to bill the insurer and give whatever related information is needed.

Is a medical file the property of the patient?
Tricky question! The information itself is the controlled and likely owned by the patient, but may be retained by the provider. The paper it is on typically belongs to the provider, although this legal point is coming more and more into question. The provider is legally prevented from freely sharing this information -- they may only share it under certain circumstances. The patient is always allowed to review that info unless: * They're an inmate of a prison (but not a hospital). * They're in the military (never tested that I am aware of). * The part containing Psychotherapy Notes can be optionally withheld from the patient, if revealing them is dangerous to the patient's health or others. * Various other minor issues -- feel free to post on this question if you need more detail. The provider is allowed to charge a "reasonable copying fee" for providing those notes, but the amount cannot be so prohibitively high that the price may constitute a barrier to the patient taking advantage of this right. Typically, if the patient is adamant, the first copy is free. The patient may request in writing that the provider not reveal part or any of the medical record to some or all people. The provider does not have to comply with this request, but does have to respond in writing within 30 days. If they do respond, the patient may ask for a review (under HIPAA, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights -- see link below). The patient may request in writing that the provider correct any errors or ommissions in the patient's medical record. The provider does not have to comply with this request, but does have to respond in writing within 30 days. If they do respond, the patient may ask for a review (under HIPAA, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights -- see link below) In summary, "property" is a difficult word just now, as all this is being asked in the courts right now. The patient, however, has some very definitive rights about controlling that information.
