I understand that I may revoke this authorization in writing submitted at any time to Georgia Psychatry & Sleep, except to the extent that action has been taken in reliance on this authorization. If authorization has not been revoked, it will continue unless an updated release is provided. Medical records frequently contain information which may be privileged and/or confidential remarks furnished by the patient, patients family and staff. If, in the judgement of the medical staff, disclosure of the privileged/confidential information will be harmful to the patient, release of such imformation may be withheld in accordance with specific state and federal regulations. Records released may contain alcohol and drug treatment information, AIDS/HIV, psychiatrics/psychological/other mental health privileged or confidential information. Certain communications are privileged and not subject to release without your consent under state and/or federal law.
After giving due consideration to the above statement, I authorize Georgia Psychiatry & Sleep and/or members of its staff to furnish information, including verbal and/or written communication, photocopy or faxed copies of my medical records, including matters privileged under laws of the state of Georgia, and applicable federal law and regulations, to the above organization or to its agent. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Georgia Psychiatry & Sleep and staff from libiility that may arise from the release of the information herein requested.
