Frequently Asked Questions
Can I revoke a HIPAA authorization?
Yes. You can revoke your authorization at any time in writing. However, revocation does not apply to information already released under the prior authorization.
How long is a HIPAA authorization valid?
The authorization should include an expiration date. If none is specified, it is generally valid for one year. You can set any expiration date you choose.
Does this replace the HIPAA consent form?
No. HIPAA consent (for treatment, payment, and operations) is separate from HIPAA authorization (for disclosure to third parties). They serve different purposes.
