Conditions
I further understand that [Audrey Oxenhorn MSW, LCSW- Love Makes a Family LLC] will not condition my treatment on whether I give authorization for the requested disclosure. However, it has been explained to me that failure to sign this authorization may have the following consequences:
Form of Disclosure

Redisclosure
I understand that there is the potential that the protected health information that is disclosed pursuant to this the authorization may be re-disclosed by the recipient and the protected health information will no longer be protected by the HIPAA privacy regulations unless a State law applies that is more strict than HIPAA and provides additional privacy protections.
I will be given a copy of this authorization for my records.
