A medical authorization form is a document that allows a healthcare provider to release privileged information about your care to a third party. This form is necessary because of the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA mandates that providers cannot share private medical information without an authorization form like the ones found on PDFSimpli.
A medical authorization form needs to include basic identifying details such as your name, address, and date of birth. It should also indicate the exact individual(s) or organization(s) you agree to share your medical files with. If there are any exceptions to this authorization, you must make these exceptions clear. Easily include this information in your form with PDFSimpli's PDF editing tools.
There are many situations where you may need to use a medical authorization form. If you are switching healthcare providers and want your new practitioner to see your prior medical history, for example, you may use a medical authorization form to release this information to your new provider. If they don't have the form readily available, you can find it on PDFSimpli.
