Authorization to Disclose Information About Me

I understand that my employer has requested that Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) integrate the claim services for disability benefits and

request for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), state leave laws, and/or my company’s leave of absence policy (“Leave Request”). For

purposes of determining my eligibility for disability benefits and/or my Leave Request, the administration of my employer’s disability benefit plan (which may

include assisting me in returning to work, or applying for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits), and the administration of other benefit plans in which I

participate that may be affected by my eligibility for disability benefits, including but not limited to any workers compensation, employee assistance or disease

management program, I permit the following disclosures of information about me to be made in the format requested, including by telephone, fax or mail:

1. I permit: any physician or other medical/care provider, hospital, clinic, other medical related facility or service, pharmacy benefit administrator, insurer,

employer, government agency, group policyholder, contract holder or benefit plan administrator to disclose to MetLife, and any consumer reporting

agencies, investigative agencies, attorneys, and independent claim administrators acting on MetLife’s behalf, any and all information about my health,

medical care, employment, and my claim for disability benefits and/or my Leave.

2. I permit: MetLife to disclose to my employer or its agents acting in the capacity of administrator of its benefit plans or programs, including but not

limited to, workers compensation, employee assistance, or disease management programs, and to my employer regarding my Leave Request, any and all

information about my health, medical care, employment, and claim for disability benefits or Leave Request. I also permit MetLife to contact any health

care provider who has submitted a medical certification to MetLife in connection with my Leave Request in order to authenticate, clarify, or obtain any

information missing from the certification.

This Authorization to Disclose Information About Me specifically includes my permission to disclose my entire medical record, including medical information,

records, test results, and data on: medical care, diagnosis or surgery; psychiatric or psychological medical records, but not psychotherapy notes; and alcohol

or drug abuse including any data protected by Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 2 or other applicable laws. Information concerning mental illness, HIV,

AIDS, HIV related illnesses and sexually transmitted diseases or other serious communicable illnesses may be controlled by various laws and

regulations. I consent to disclosure of such information, but only in accordance with laws and regulations as apply to me. Information that may

have been subject to privacy rules of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, once disclosed, may be subject to redisclosure by

the recipient as permitted or required by law and may no longer be covered by those rules. Your health care provider may not condition your

treatment on whether you sign this authorization.

I understand that I may revoke this authorization at any time by writing to MetLife Disability at P.O. Box 14590, Lexington, KY 40511-4590, except to the extent

that action has been taken in reliance on it. If I do not, it will be valid for 24 months from the date I sign this form or the duration of my claim for benefits and/

or my Leave Request, whichever period is shorter.
