HIPAA Release Authority. My agent shall be treated as I would be with respect to my rights
regarding the use and disclosure of my individually identifiable health information or other
medical records. This release authority applies to any information governed by the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 42 U.S.C. 1320d and 45 CFR
160 through 164. I authorize any physician, health care professional, dentist, health plan,
hospital, clinic, laboratory, pharmacy, or other covered health care provider, any insurance
company, and the Medical Information Bureau, Inc. or other health care clearinghouse that has
provided treatment or services to me, or that has paid for or is seeking payment from me for
such services, to give, disclose and release to my agent, without restriction, all of my
individually identifiable health information and medical records regarding any past, present or
future medical or mental health condition, including all information relating to the diagnosis of
HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, mental illness, and drug or alcohol abuse. The
authority given my agent shall supersede any other agreement that I may have made with my
health care providers to restrict access to or disclosure of my individually identifiable health

event that I revoke the authority in writing and deliver it to my health care provider.
