HIPAA AUTHORIZATION AND RELEASE

When the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) went into effect a few years ago, all medical providers, including hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, insurance companies, and many others, became  subject to steep penalties if they provide your personal medical information to third parties without your consent. The HIPAA Release/Authorization gives them the authority to provide your personal medical information to third parties and releases them from the ramifications of doing so.  Most medical providers ask you to sign their HIPAA form when you use their services.
