Duration and Revocation of Authorization
This authorization is good for a period of 1 year from the time of signing. I understand that I can revoke this authorization at any time prior to that date by contacting the practice in writing.
I understand that if the practice has already shared the information authorized here at the time I revoke this authorization, then it is too late to prevent that information from being shared.
I understand that the practice cannot make completion of this authorization a condition for any treatments or benefits I am entitled to, unless this authorization is necessary to determine eligibility for treatment or benefits or to pay for treatments I receive.
I understand that this information may be protected by Title 45 (Code of Federal Rules of Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, Parts 160 and 164) and Title 42 (Federal Rules of Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records, Chapter 1, Part 2), plus applicable state laws. I further understand that the information disclosed to the recipient may not be protected under these guidelines if they are not a health care provider covered by state or federal rules.
