In
accordance
with
California
Law and
Long Valley
Health
Center Policy,
all Requests for Release
of
Medical Information
MUST be in writing. |
California's
Confidentiality
of Medical Information Act (Civil Code 56.10) requires that:
"No
provider of health care . . . shall disclose medical information
regarding
a patient . . . without first obtaining an
authorization."
In
addition,
Civil
Code 56.11 states that for an authorization to be valid, it must be
written,
signed and dated by the patient (or legally authorized representative),
and must state both the specific uses and limitations on the types of
medical
information to be disclosed, as well as uses and limitations on the use
of the medical information by the
persons or entities authorized to
receive
it.
Long Valley
Health
Center policy prohibits its employees from using verbal authorizations,
by phone or in person, or from using a blanket authorization in any
form. |
