6. I UNDERSTAND THAT: My health information is protected by federal regulation (Alcohol & Drug Abuse Patient Records, 42 CFR Part 2; and/or HIPAA 45 CFR) and state privacy laws, and disclosure is allowed only with my authorization except in limited circumstances described in Privacy Notice. I can revoke this authorization at any time except to the extent that action has been taken in reliance on it. Nashville Neuro Psychiatric Associates outlines the procedure for revocation. This authorization will expire in one year from the date I sign or unless I request an earlier expiration in writing. For disclosures other than for treatment, payment and healthcare operations purposes, treatment may not be conditioned on my agreement to sign and authorization (unless I am receiving care solely to create protected health information for disclosure to a third party) Communications resulting from this authorization will reveal that I receive services at NNPA. Federal confidentiality regulations (42 CFR Part 2) prohibit re-disclosure of information from alcohol & drug abuse patient records. However, HIPAA requires NNPA to notify me of the potential that information disclosed pursuant to this authorization might be re-disclosed by the recipient and is no longer protected by HIPAA.
