HIPPA Authorization for Release of Patient Health Information
In general, HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) gives patients the right to request the uses and disclosures of their protected health information (PHI). The patient is also provided the right to request confidential communications, or that a communication of PHI be made by alternative means, such as sending correspondence to the individual’s office instead of home. This information will remain in effect until revoked in writing, except to the extent that action has already been taken.
