The HIPAA Release Form for Medical Records is a crucial document designed to authorize the disclosure of an individual's protected health information to specified third parties. It allows the user to name agents who can access their medical records under the guidelines set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This form contains sections for the patient to provide their name and the names, addresses, and relationships of the agents authorized to receive their information. Users must understand that this authorization supersedes any previous agreements restricting access to their health information. The authority granted through this form remains in effect until the patient revokes it in writing. For the target audience of attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form is essential for facilitating health information sharing, ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations, and protecting client rights. It serves as a vital tool in legal matters where medical records are required, helping professionals navigate patient confidentiality while coordinating care or addressing legal issues. Proper filling and editing of this form are necessary to avoid any legal complications related to unauthorized access to sensitive health information.
