If you believe that your doctor or other health care provider violated your health information privacy right by not giving you access to your medical record, you may file a HIPAA Privacy Rule Complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights.
A HIPAA release form is a document that – when signed – allows healthcare providers to share a patient's protected health information (PHI) with specified individuals or organizations, ing to the details stipulated in the form.
How do I fill out a HIPAA release form? Provide instructions. Name the patient and individual authorized to use or disclose their PHI. Describe the information. Specify recipients. Specify the purpose of disclosure. Specify the time period. Detail their revocation rights. Obtain the patient's signature.
However, a HIPAA rule permits disclosure of PHI without prior obtained consent for healthcare operations, treatment, and payment. This includes consultation between providers regarding a patient, referring a patient, and information required by law for public health safety and reporting.
