What is HIPAA? HIPAA Logo

Portability & Accountability 
Act of 1996, known as 
HIPAA, is a federal law 
designed to keep patient 
information private and 
allow consumers access to 
their medical records.

bridges.jpg

.If you want your parent(s) and/or guardian(s) to have 
access to your medical records, schedule 
appointments for you or speak with your healthcare 
providers, you must sign the form. 
.A HIPAA Release and Consent Form is NOT a health 
care proxy. It does NOT authorize your parent(s) / 
guardian(s) to make healthcare decisions for you.
