Should I sign this “HIPAA Authorization” for release of my medical records? No, you should not sign the HIPAA authorization for the release of your medical records. Often, the insurance company will act as though they cannot begin to decide how much money to offer you until they have all of your medical records.

When filling out a HIPAA Authorization Form, state who you are and exactly to whom you are disclosing your health information (doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider). Under the Privacy Act of HIPAA laws, you must include a description of the information being disclosed.

To respect HIPAA compliance rules, a signed HIPAA release form must be obtained from a patient before their protected health information can be shared with other individuals or organizations, except in the case of routine disclosures for treatment, payment or healthcare operations permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

Both the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Nevada law give you rights with respect to your medical record. The HIPAA Privacy Rule sets standards that apply to records held by health care providers across the nation. Nevada law sets standards for records held by doctors, hospitals and other health care providers within the state.

If you want your medical records, please contact your medical provider. To request we send a copy of your billing records to you, please use the Recipient Request to Access/Obtain Copy of Protected Health Information form provided under Forms.
