Preferred delivery method

4. Information authorized for release

Select the records to be disclosed. Harbor & Haven will release only records it maintains and may exclude information that another law does not permit it to redisclose.

5. Specially protected information

Initial each category only if you specifically authorize its release. Harbor & Haven will apply any additional federal or Virginia requirement that protects the information. Records not maintained by Harbor & Haven cannot be released by Harbor & Haven.

Psychotherapy notes are not included. HIPAA generally requires a separate authorization for psychotherapy notes. Federally protected substance use disorder records under 42 CFR Part 2 may also require a separate, specifically worded consent or court order.

6. Purpose of the disclosure

7. Expiration

This authorization expires on the earlier of the date or event selected below. The expiration must be specific enough to determine when authorization ends.

Ninety days after signature, if neither option above is completed.

8. Your rights and important information

  • Signing is voluntary. Harbor & Haven generally will not condition treatment, payment, enrollment, eligibility for benefits, or non-medical home-care services on signing this authorization, except when the law permits a specific exception.
  • You may revoke this authorization at any time by sending a written request to Harbor & Haven’s Privacy Officer at the address shown on this form. Revocation will not affect disclosures already made in reasonable reliance on this authorization or other action the law permits.
  • Information disclosed under this authorization may be redisclosed by the recipient and may no longer be protected by HIPAA. Federal or Virginia law may continue to protect certain records, including qualifying substance use disorder, HIV, genetic, or mental-health information.
  • You may request and receive a copy of this signed authorization. A copy, electronic image, or electronically signed version may be treated as valid to the extent allowed by law.
  • Harbor & Haven may verify identity, authority, recipient details, and delivery instructions before releasing records. Reasonable copying, labor, postage, or electronic-delivery charges may apply only when permitted by law and disclosed in advance.

I have read and understand this authorization. I authorize the disclosure described above. I understand the information to be released, the recipient, the purpose, the expiration, my right to revoke, and the possibility of redisclosure. I certify that the information I provided is accurate and that I am the individual or a person legally authorized to act for the individual.
