    If you select "Other," please be very specific and brief about what you would like released. Vague requests may delay processing, and overly broad authorizations may not be honored.

    Our goal is to protect your privacy-please take care in selecting and describing what you wish to share.

  • I authorize the release of protected health information for all dates of service.**If you would like to limit the time frame, please indicate it below.

    Important:
    If you choose to limit the date range for this release, please ensure the dates are accurate.

    If the service date falls outside of the authorized time frame, we will not be able to release that information without a new or updated release form.

  • I understand that:

    • My health information is protected by federal regulations — including 42 CFR Part 2 (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records) and 45 CFR (HIPAA) — as well as
      applicable state privacy laws. Disclosure is permitted only with my written authorization, except in limited circumstances described in Recovering Hope Treatment
      Center’s Privacy Notice. I have the right to inspect and receive a copy of my treatment records in accordance with applicable laws.
    •  I may revoke this authorization at any time, except to the extent that action has already been taken in reliance on it. The procedure for revocation is outlined in
      Recovering Hope Treatment Center’s Privacy Notice. Unless otherwise specified in writing, this authorization will expire one year from the date it is signed, or earlier
      if requested in writing.
    •  For disclosures other than those made for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, Recovering Hope Treatment Center may not condition my treatment on
      signing this authorization — unless I am receiving services solely for the purpose of creating information to be disclosed to a third party. (45 CFR § 164.508(b)(4)(iii))
    •  Communications resulting from this authorization may reveal that I receive services at Recovering Hope Treatment Center. Federal confidentiality rules (42 CFR Part
      2) prohibit the re-disclosure of any substance use disorder (SUD) information. However, I understand that HIPAA requires Recovering Hope to inform me that
      information disclosed under this authorization may be re-disclosed by the recipient and may no longer be protected by HIPAA.
    • This authorization may also be used by other Recovering Hope-owned or managed programs if I transfer care to those programs.
    • All disclosed information will be treated as confidential and will only be used for business and treatment coordination purposes. Records will be retained as required
      and securely destroyed after seven (7) years, in compliance with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
    •  Notice to recipient: Information disclosed to you from records protected by federal confidentiality rules (42 CFR Part 2) must not be further disclosed unless expressly
      permitted by the written consent of the individual to whom it pertains or as otherwise allowed by law. A general authorization is not sufficient for this purpose. These
      rules also prohibit the use of disclosed information to criminally investigate or prosecute any alcohol or drug abuse patient.
  • Signature Disclaimer:
    By signing this form, I confirm that I am the individual whose information is being released, or that I am legally authorized to act on their behalf (such as a parent of a minor or a court-appointed legal guardian).

    I understand that signing this form without legal authority may result in legal consequences, including but not limited to investigation for fraud or misuse of identity.
