HIPAA authorization is a specific type of consent that allows the release of health information for purposes other than treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, such as research or marketing.

This privilege helps ensure that clients can share sensitive information with their attorneys in confidence.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. It ensures healthcare providers, insurers, and other entities protect patient information. HIPAA compliance involves safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI) and rules on sharing and accessing patient data.

HIPPA is the health insurance portability and protection act. Basically, if you change or lose your job, your health insurance plan is protected by HIPPA. You also do not need to explain pre-existing health issues to a new employer under HIPPA. That is the portability function of the act. Obviously, you have patient rights and HIPPA will cover them while you are in between jobs.
Per HIPPA, disclosure of medical information must be secure and controlled. In this case, if the Doctor is a resident of the hospital where the patient resides, the Doctor is considered a secure and controlled release. It is under a HIPPA rule, a disclosure, but not a violation. A visiting Doctor is not allowed access to patient records without the patient consent.
