A HIPAA authorization lets a provider release a patient's records to someone else, such as the law firm. Federal rules require it to include certain elements, including an expiration date or event.
Track each authorization
- The client and the provider.
- The date sent to the client for signature.
- The date signed.
- The expiration date or event.
- The date sent to the provider.
