HIPAA Authorization in Florida
A HIPAA authorization allows your designated representatives — your health care surrogate, power of attorney agent, or other trusted persons — to access your protected health information from healthcare providers.
Without a signed HIPAA authorization, your representatives may be unable to obtain the medical information they need to make decisions on your behalf, even with a health care surrogate designation or power of attorney in place.
Federal HIPAA rules restrict the disclosure of health information to non-providers, and a properly drafted HIPAA authorization removes that barrier for the specific people you choose.
Aguila Law includes HIPAA authorization as a standard component of every estate plan, ensuring your representatives have access to the information they need when they need it.
