PROVIDER INFORMATION

  You do not need to sign this authorization. Refusal to sign the authorization will not adversely affect your ability to receive health care services or reimbursement for services.

  You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time. If you revoke your authorization, the information described above may no longer be used or disclosed for the purposes described in this written authorization. The only exception is when a covered entity has taken action in reliance on the authorization or the authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage.

  To revoke this authorization, please send a written statement to ____________________ (contact person) at ____________________ (address of person/entity disclosing information) and state that you are revoking this authorization.
