Designation for Release of Medical Information to a Family Member, Friend, or Legal Representative

Introduction

It is the physicians’ responsibility to ensure that the physician-patient relationship is confidential. The Health

Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) allow physicians to use their professional judgment on disclosing

certain personal health information to family, friends, etc. without an authorization. This form is an aid to the

physicians in making a determination on disclosing such information. Parker Primary Care realizes that there are

times when you, the patient, may want another person to be knowledgeable about your medical condition or

medical needs. Your doctor wants you to be able, if you so desire, to name a person to whom you want the

office staff to speak with about your medical condition. To enable that, we would ask that you complete the

form listed below. Please note the following points:

 Only one person can be designated for this role

 The designation is valid until you cancel it in writing

 If you designate no one, Parker Primary Care will not release information to any family member, friend,

or legal representative
