HIPAA Authorization In Leesburg

Granting Access To Your Medical Matters

Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), your healthcare files and any communications you have with medical professionals and practices are private. This is to ensure your safety and privacy.

Unfortunately, this also means that if you want a loved one to have access to your files or to discuss your condition with your doctor, you need to grant them official authorization. Your HIPAA authorization is part of a comprehensive estate plan – and Legacy Law Centers can help you draft this important health care document. Our Leesburg estate planning lawyer has helped several individuals create and implement HIPAA authorizations.

It is important to make sure you choose the right person and create a comprehensive document that clearly states your willingness to let this person have access to your records.
