HIPAA Authorization
Grant loved ones the legal right to access your medical information.
Federal privacy laws (HIPAA) strictly prohibit doctors and hospitals from sharing your medical information with anyone—including your spouse or children—without explicit written permission.
During a medical emergency, nothing is more frustrating for a family than being legally barred from receiving updates on a loved one's condition. A HIPAA Authorization form solves this.
We draft robust, universally accepted HIPAA waivers that clearly name who is permitted to discuss your care, review your charts, and handle billing with medical providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this let someone make medical decisions for me?
No. A HIPAA Authorization only allows the release of information. You need a Healthcare Surrogate to grant decision-making authority.
Do I need this for my college-aged children?
Yes. Once your child turns 18, you lose the legal right to their medical information. Every young adult should sign a HIPAA waiver.
