Re: HIPAA Compliant Authorization for Release of Medical Information

be very careful what you are signing. They are not entitled to your entire medical history. You need to look carefully at the authorization and see what you are giving up. How much are we talking in bills? Feel free to give me a call and I would be happy to to look at the authorization. [email protected]

A General Medical Authorization will give the other party access to ALL of your medical records; even those not related to your accident. Normally, we allow only a limited Medical Authorization. Give us a call to schedule a free initial conference. We are here to help. Rian Ankerholz

Re: HIPAA Compliant Authorization for Release of Medical Information

I believe that the form you are referring to will only authorize the insurance company to obtain and review your medical records. In most cases they want you to fill out a written statement, perhaps make a recorded statement, sign authorizations for them to obtain your employment records and other things. Depending upon the seriousness of the collision, you might be well advised to consult in person with an attorney to see whether this is a claim that you can handle properly on your own, or whether an attorney would be able to protect your rights and obtain more net compensation for you after the attorneys fees are paid than you will obtain on your own. I, like most other attorneys who handle these matters will agree to work on a contingent fee basis which means that the attorney takes a percentage of the final settlement or ather recovery of money in your case when the money is actually collected from the other side. This way you do not have to pay any attorney's fees out of your own pocket. There are many competent attorneys out there who would review this matter for you at no charge, and I would advise you to consult with one immediately. Good luck.
