This form does not authorize the redisclosure of medical information beyond the limits of this consent. Where information has been disclosed from records protected by federal law for alcohol/drug abuse records or by state law for mental health records, federal requirements (42 C.F.R., Part 2) and state requirements (Iowa Code CH2288) prohibit further disclosure without specific written consent of the patient, or as otherwise permitted by such state law and/or regulations. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is not sufficient for these purposes. Civil and/or criminal penalties may attach for unauthorized disclosure of alcohol/drug abuse or mental health information.
