HIPPA Patient Consent Form

The federal government requires all medical offices to make patients aware that they have rights regarding the use of their personal health information. A copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices is available for your review at the front desk.

By signing this form, you consent to our use and disclosure of protected health information according to the Notice of Privacy Practices available to you at our front desk. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time, in writing. However, such a revocation shall not affect any disclosures we have already made in reliance on your prior consent. Abingdon ENT provides this form to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the medical information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment or health care operation. This request must be done in writing. We will honor your request whenever possible.

The patient understands that:

• We will not release information to any future doctor, attorney, life insurance company, workman’s
• comp company without your written consent.
• Protected health information may be used for treatment through one of your current doctors,
• payment with your insurance company, or healthcare operations within our office.
• Abingdon ENT has a Notice of Privacy Practices that is available for review.
• Abingdon ENT reserves the right to change the Notice of Privacy Practices.
• The patient has the right to restrict the use of their information, but Abingdon ENT does not have to
• agree to these restrictions if, for example, it interferes with treatment, payment, or daily operations.
• The patient may revoke this consent in writing at any time and all future disclosures will then cease.
• Abingdon ENT may condition treatment upon the execution of this consent.
• You have the right to be notified of a protected health information breach.

I acknowledge that I was provided with a copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices.
