Typically one form per Covered Entity (CE) will get you your records. So one for each doctor or hospital, one form for the insurance company, etc. Actually, there is no legal requirement that any forms need to be filled out. HIPAA allows CE's to require the request to be in writing, but that's up to them. The form has to be easy to fill out, you don't have to say why you want the info, etc. The CE's Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP), which must be given to you by the CE under the law, will detail the procedure. You can also make up your own form. It would need to identify who you are, likely using whatever method the CE used to identify you (how else will they know who they're talking about), and should say something like you request to review (or obtain copies of) the entire Designanted Record Set as defined under HIPAA.

How does HIPAA affect electronic medical record?
All medical records are treated the same under HIPAA, without regard to the form the record is kept in: Paper, Electronic, Mixed Media, X-Rays, etc. HIPAA applies to electronic medical records as much as it does to paper records. The patient still needs to sign a release for information to be transferred to other providers.

Can a 16 year old sign a Hippa form in the state of Florida precluding their parents from knowing any medical information about them?

Do you have to sign a HIPAA form to file a claim?
Based off of my research into this matter I have found that you do not have to sign the HIPPA form to file a claim. What this form does is it allows the insurance company to access medical records related to your claim directly from the health care providers that have them. If they do not have this form then only you have access to the records and the insurance company will have to reach out to you for every record they need through out the claim process. It is usually recomended that you sign the form for simplicities sake since it will make the claim process allot faster but the choice is yours. Hope this helps!
