My signature on the reverse side of this form authorizes the release of health information. This information may be protected from disclosure by federal privacy law and state law. By signing this consent, I am authorizing health information to be released to the Board of Education, which may include school nurses, because it is required by law, and to protect the health and safety of the student, or in order to process a claim with my child’s insurance provider. Upon my request, the facility or person disclosing this health information must provide me with a copy of this form. Parents are required by law to provide certain information to the school, like proof of immunization. Failure to provide this information may result in the student being excluded from school. My questions about this form have been answered. I understand that I do not have to allow the release of my child’s health information, and that I can change my mind at any time and revoke my authorization by writing to the OHCP. However, after a disclosure has been made, it cannot be revoked retroactively to cover information released prior to the revocation. I authorize the OHCP to release specific health information on the student named on the reverse page to the Board of Education. I consent to the release from the OHCP to the School District and from the School District to the OHCP, of health information outlined below in order to meet regulatory requirements and to ensure that the District has information needed to protect my child’s health and safety. I understand that this information will remain confidential in accordance with Federal and State law, including HIPAA and NY Education Law §2-d:
Conditions which may require emergency
Conditions which limit a student’s daily activity
Diagnosis of certain communicable diseases (not including HIV infection/STI and other confidential services protected by law
Health insurance coverage
My signature on page 1 of this form also gives my consent to the OHCP to contact other providers that have examined my child and to obtain insurance information.
The Release of Information is authorized from the date that form is signed until the student is no longer enrolled in the School Based Oral Health Clinic Program or until revoked, whichever is earlier.
Patient Rights and Privacy Policy shall be provided by the OHCP, as applicable by law.
