HIPAA, or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, establishes rules for the protection of health information. A HIPAA release and authorization permits individuals to allow healthcare providers to share their protected health information with third parties, complying with federal privacy guidelines. Generally, healthcare providers can only disclose this information to the patient or their designated agent without authorization. HIPAA safeguards information regarding an individual’s health condition and related healthcare expenses. Authorizations must detail the information to be disclosed, the purpose of disclosure, and identify both the person authorized to disclose and the recipient.
