PATIENT RIGHTS AND HIPAA AUTHORIZATIONS
(Page 2 of 2)
The following specifies your rights about this authorization under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended from time to time (“HIPAA”).
1.
Tell your mental health professional if you don’t understand this authorization, and they will
explain it to you.
2.
You have the right to revoke or cancel this authorization at any time, except: (a) to the
extent information has already been shared based on this authorization; or (b) this
authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage. To revoke or
cancel this authorization, you must submit your request in writing to your mental health
professional and your insurance company, if applicable.
3.
You may refuse to sign this authorization. Your refusal to sign will not affect your ability to
obtain treatment, make payment, or affect your eligibility for benefits. If you refuse to sign
this authorization, and you are in a research-related treatment program, or have authorized
your provider to disclose information about you to a third party, your provider has the right
to decide not to treat you or accept you as a client in their practice.
4.
Once the information about you leaves this office according to the terms of this
authorization, this office has no control over how it will be used by the recipient. You need
to be aware that at that point your information may no longer be protected by HIPAA.
5.
If this office initiated this authorization, you must receive a copy of the signed authorization.
6.
Special Instructions for completing this authorization for the use and disclosure of
Psychotherapy Notes. HIPAA provides special protections to certain medical records
known as “Psychotherapy Notes.” All Psychotherapy Notes recorded on any medium (i.e.,
paper, electronic) by a mental health professional (such as a psychologist or psychiatrist)
must be kept by the author and filed separate from the rest of the client’s medical records
to maintain a higher standard of protection. “Psychotherapy Notes” are defined under
HIPAA as notes recorded by a health care provider who is a mental health professional
documenting or analyzing the contents of conversation during a private counseling session
or a group, joint, or family counseling session and that are separate from the rest of the
individual’s medical records. Excluded from the “Psychotherapy Notes” definition are the
following: (a) medication prescription and monitoring, (b) counseling session start and stop
times, (c) the modalities and frequencies of treatment furnished, (d) the results of clinical
tests, and (e) any summary of: diagnosis, functional status, the treatment plan, symptoms,
prognosis, and progress to date.
In order for a medical provider to release “Psychotherapy Notes” to a third party, the client
who is the subject of the Psychotherapy Notes must sign this authorization to specifically
allow for the release of Psychotherapy Notes. Such authorization must be separate from
an authorization to release other medical records.
