I understand that this Authorization will be valid and in effect unless it is revoked by me in writing or until it automatically expires 30 days after termination of treatment. If I choose to revoke this authorization, it will prevent any release of information after the date it is received, but can not change any actions taken before that date.
I understand that I do not have to sign this authorization and that my refusal to sign will not affect my abilities to obtain treatment. I also understand that I may inspect and have a copy of any written health information that is shared.
If the person or entity that receives the information is not a healthcare provider or health plan covered by federal privacy regulations, the information described above may be redisclosed and no longer protected by those regulations.
