No ma’am, she will not be getting any records from me. Even if it was my mother or father they still wouldn’t get the records. A Privacy Rule Authorization is a persons signed authorization that permits a covered individual to utilize or reveal the person’s protected health information (PHI) that is explained within the authorization for the reason(s) and to the recipient(s) which is specified in the authorization form. If you don’t have a signed consent form, then the individual is not giving you permission to look or receive their files. The authorization form has to be written in simple, basic language. A consent is not considered legal if it does not have all of the required components and statements.
