If I revoke my authorization, the information described above may no longer be used or disclosed for purposes described in this written authorization. The only exception is when a covered entity has acted in reliance on the authorization or the authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage. (45 CFR§164.508 (c)(2)(ii))
I am not required to sign this authorization. Refusal to sign the authorization will not adversely affect my ability to receive health care services or reimbursement for services. The only circumstances when refusal to sign means I will not receive health services is if the health care services are solely for the purpose of providing health information to someone else and the authorization is necessary to make that disclosure. (45 CFR§164.508 (c)(2)(ii)) I have a right to request, in writing, a list of protected health information disclosures as permitted under federal or state law.
At RCH’s school-based health centers, protected information will be used or disclosed only when it is necessary to satisfy a particular purpose or carry out a function related to the health and protection of a student’s well-being and ability to learn and succeed.
I have reviewed and I understand this authorization. I also understand that the information used or disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be subject to re-disclosure by the recipient and no longer be protected under federal law. I hereby authorize the release of information between Rogue Community Health and the authorized organization/person listed above.
