You do not need to sign this authorization. Refusal to sign the authorization will not adversely affect your ability to receive health care services or reimbursement for services. The only circumstance when refusal to sign will mean you will not receive health services is if the health services are solely for the purpose of providing health information to someone else, and the authorization is necessary to make that disclosure. Your refusal to sign this authorization does not adversely affect your enrollment in a health plan or eligibility for health benefits, unless the authorized information is necessary to determine if you are eligible to enroll in the health plan. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time. If you revoke your authorization, the information described above may no longer be used or disclosed for the purposes described in this written authorization. Any uses or disclosures already made with your permission cannot be undone. To revoke this authorization, please send a written statement to OHSU Health Services, PO Box 925. Hillsboro OR. 97239-3098 and state that you are revoking this authorization.
I understand that the information used or disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be subject to re-disclosure and no longer be protected under federal law. However, I also understand that federal or state law may restrict re-disclosure of HIV/AIDS information, mental health information, drug/alcohol diagnosis, treatment or referral information and generic testing information.
I have read this authorization and I understand it.
This authorization expires one year from the date of signing unless revoked or otherwise specified below:
