Authorization for Release of Medical Records

(Download)

_________________ (“Patient”) of __________________________________(Address), with Social Security Number ___________________, hereby authorizes the release, disclose, and delivery of the medical information described below to: _______________

(Authorized Recipient).

Specific Authorization. I specifically authorize the release of all medical information relating to the above-named patient including but not limited to the following categories protected by state or federal law: (1) Substance abuse (drug or alcohol) treatment (2) Mental health treatment and (3) HIV-AIDS-related information, if such information is contained in the records. This request includes any reports, correspondence, test results, and any other information contained in the records, whether generated by the authorized provider or another entity.

I do not give permission for any other use or redisclosure of this information.

Yours very truly,

____________

Patient

Redisclosure. This release does not authorize redisclosure of medical information beyond the limits of this consent. The Recipient of this information is prohibited from using the information for other than the stated purpose, and from disclosing it to any other party without further authorization from me, the patient. The following written statement should accompany certain disclosures:

This information has been disclosed to you from records protected by Federal confidentiality rules (42 CFR Part 2). The Federal rules prohibit you from making any further disclosure of this information unless further disclosure is expressly permitted by the written consent of the person to whom it pertains or as otherwise permitted by 42 CFR Part 2. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is NOT sufficient for this purpose. The Federal rules restrict any use of the information to criminally investigate or prosecute any alcohol or drug abuse patient.

The Patient specifically understands and agrees that the REDISCLOSURE requirements set out above will apply to these records.

Validity and Time Period. I understand that this authorization will automatically expire one year from the date of my signature, and that I may revoke this authorization by sending a written notice to the person or entity authorized to make the disclosure described above. I agree that any release which has been made prior to revocation and which was made in reliance upon this authorization shall not constitute a breach of my rights to confidentiality.

I authorize the release of information as indicated above.

Therefore, with certain exceptions, medical information can only be released with the written authorization of the patient or the patient's authorized representative. This document can be used to provide the necessary authorization. Under rare circumstances, a health care provider may restrict the release of medical records to the patient if the release could be harmful to the patient or others.Most states recognize that the actual medical records are the property of the health care provider who compiles, stores, and maintains the information. Typically, then, only copies of medical records are released and the health care provider maintains the original record. Providers can charge a fee for copying the records but should not deny the release of medical records because the patient has outstanding medical bills.Many health care providers have very specific procedures regarding the release of medical records because of confidentiality concerns and the special protection afforded certain types of records such as HIV, mental health, and substance abuse information.

Do doctors have to release medical information to the parents even if they are a minor?

Most doctors are actually adults. You must be thinking of that TV show.A more detailed answer would be: If the patient is a minor, the patient's parents or guardians would sign the Authorization of the Release of Medical Records form. If the parent or guardian of the minor signed this form, and grant permission to release the medical records, the physician, then, can do so. The parents/guardians have the right to access the minor's medical records, but cannot keep the original record as it belongs to the Maker (in this case, the physician).


Can you view nursing home records?

It is assumed that you are inquiring about another person's records. You cannot access another person's records unless you have authority pursuant to a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, a court appointed guardianship or other court order or the patient has signed a release authorizing the facility to release records to you. Records of patients are not released without proper authorization.
