Risk Disclosure, Rights and Recommended Follow-up

I acknowledge that I have been notified of asbestos disturbance or removal activity in areas where I received care or visited. I understand that asbestos exposure may not produce immediate symptoms and that certain asbestos-related diseases may have a latency period measured in years. I understand the nature of the potential exposure, its commonly associated health effects, and that no removal activity can eliminate all risk of exposure.

I understand my right to a prompt medical evaluation and baseline pulmonary assessment. Recommendations may include clinical examination, chest imaging, pulmonary function testing, and occupational health follow-up. I may decline recommended tests, but I acknowledge that refusal may limit the ability to detect or document asbestos-related conditions.

Authorization for Medical Evaluation and Release of Records

By signing below I authorize the treating healthcare provider to perform examinations, diagnostic testing, and to obtain and disclose relevant medical records to occupational health personnel, the facility, or referral providers as necessary for evaluation of asbestos exposure and ongoing care. This authorization includes release of radiology and pulmonary function test results, treatment summaries, and relevant clinical notes.

This authorization is voluntary. I understand I may revoke this authorization at any time by providing written notice, but revocation will not affect disclosures already made in reliance on this authorization. I understand this authorization expires on the date indicated below, or otherwise after two years if no date is provided.

HIPAA / Privacy Acknowledgment

I acknowledge that I have been provided with information regarding the facility's privacy practices and the types of disclosures that may be made in the course of occupational exposure evaluation. I consent to necessary uses and disclosures of my protected health information as described above.

I acknowledge receipt of the privacy information and consent to the described disclosures.

Additional Administrative Use

Certification: I certify that the information I have provided on this form is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that falsification of medical history or symptom reporting may impact clinical decision-making but does not negate the provider's duty to offer evaluation and appropriate follow-up.
