I understand that I have a right to revoke this authorization at any time. I must do so in writing and present my written revocation at the office where I am being seen. I further understand that actions already taken based on this authorization, prior to the revocation, will not be affected.
I understand that I have the right to a copy of this authorization.
I understand that authorizing the disclosure of this protected health information is voluntary in most cases. I can refuse to sign this authorization. I do not need sign this form to assure treatment. But, I will be refused treatment for my refusal to sign if my care is mandatory by corrections or the Juvenile Justice System.I understand that I may request to inspect or obtain a copy of my record. I understand that any disclosure of information carries the potential for an unauthorized redisclosure and the information may not be protected by federal confidentiality rules. Redisclosure may occur in situations such as if my provider’s care is reviewed by a state or federal agency, a court orders the disclosure of information, or if I sue my provider and my provider needs the information to defend himself/herself. If I have questions about disclosure of my protected health information, I can contact the office manager at Stonestreet Professional Offices.
PROHIBITION ON REDISCLOSURE OF ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT INFORMATION RECORDS: This information has been disclosed to you from records where confidentiality is protected by Federal law. Federal regulations (42 C.F.R., Part 2) prohibit you from making further disclosure of it without the specific written authorization of the person to whom it pertains, or as otherwise specified by such regulations. A general authorization for disclosure of medical or other information is NOT sufficient for this purpose.
