IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELEASE OF YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION

I understand that Health Information includes information collected from me or created by The Edinburg Center, or information received by The Edinburg Center from another provider, a health plan, my employer or a health care clearinghouse. Health information may relate to my past, present or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of my care, or payment for my services.

I understand that The Edinburg Center cannot guarantee that the Recipient will not re-disclose my health information to anyone else. The Recipient may not be subject to federal laws governing privacy of health information. However, if the disclosure consists of treatment information about a client in a federally-assisted alcohol or drug abuse program, the Recipient is prohibited under federal law from making any further disclosure of such information unless specifically permitted by written consent of the Client or as otherwise permitted under federal law governing Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records (42 CFR, Part 2).

I understand that I may revoke this Authorization in writing at any time, except that the revocation will not have any effect on disclosures made as permitted by this Authorization before written notice of revocation is received. I further understand that that I must provide any notice of revocation in writing to the Privacy Officer at The Edinburg Center. The address of the HIPAA Privacy Officer is The Edinburg Center, 1040 Waltham Street, Lexington, MA, 02421.

I understand that I may refuse to accept this Authorization and that my refusal will not affect my ability to obtain services from The Edinburg Center, except (1) if I am receiving research-related treatment or (2) receiving health care solely for the purpose of creating information for disclosure to a third party, or 3) if my refusal may limit The Center’s ability to provide safe and effective care. If any of these exceptions apply, my refusal may result in my not obtaining services from The Center.
