A HIPAA Authorization is a legal document that allows healthcare providers to share your protected health information (PHI) with designated individuals or organizations for purposes beyond treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. You control who can access your information and for what purposes.

Key benefits:

  • Privacy control: Decide what information is shared and with whom.
  • Transparency: Clearly outline the purpose and duration of the authorization.
  • Revocable: You can cancel it at any time.
  • Essential for non-standard disclosures: Required for certain uses like marketing or sharing with non-healthcare entities.

When to consider one:
Include a HIPAA Authorization if you want trusted individuals to access your medical records when needed, especially as part of your estate or healthcare planning.
