although revocation will not be effective as to the disclosure of records whose release I have
previously authorized, or where other action has been taken in reliance on an authorization I have
signed. I understand that the revocation will not apply to my insurance company when the law
provides my insurer with the right to contest a claim under my policy.

information to be disclosed to a third party, we may refuse to provide the service if you refuse to sign
this Authorization. For example, if you have requested a drug test solely for the purpose of having the
results disclosed to your employer, we may refuse to perform the drug test if you refuse to sign this
