I understand I do not have to sign this authorization in order to get healthcare benefits (treatment, payment, or enrollment). However, I do have to sign an authorization form:
• To take part in research study or
• To receive healthcare when the purpose is to create healthcare information for a third party
I may revoke this authorization in writing. If I did, it would not affect any actions already taken by Tower Imaging Valencia Radiologists based on this authorization. I may not be able to revoke this authorization if its purpose was to obtain insurance. Two ways to revoke this authorization are:
• Fill out a revocation form. A form is available at Tower Imaging Valencia.
• Write a letter to Tower Imaging Valencia, attn: Jeanne Garcia.
Once healthcare information is disclosed, the person or organization that receives it may re-disclose it. Privacy laws may no longer protect it.
