AUTHORIZATION FOR DISCLOSURE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION

This authorization for disclosure of medical information is being given in compliance with the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act of 1981 (California Civil Code §56) and the federal HIPAA.

I, hereby authorize

to furnish to (hereinafter "Company") the results and protected health information pertaining to the following marked tests and examinations:

I authorize that the Company to ask questions about the above marked tests and examinations and to use my protected health information provided in response to this authorization to determine the following marked issues:

I also authorize the Company to use my protected health information in defending against all claims arising out of any action that it may take in response to the results of the above-described test(s). Except as authorized above, the Company may not use or disclose my protected health information unless I provide another authorization, or unless such use or disclosure is specifically required or permitted by law.

I understand that the Company will keep all protected health information confidential and in a file that is separate from my personnel file, with limited access to only who need to know. Hence, I understand that re-disclosure of the protected health information by the Company to those who need to know is possible.

This authorization shall become effective immediately and shall remain in effect for six (6) months from the date written below, after which time I must execute a new authorization before any medical information may be disclosed to or used by the Company. I understand that I may revoke this authorization at any time if I send a written notice revoking this authorization to the Company. However, this authorization cannot be revoked to the extent that the Company has taken action in reliance on the authorization prior to receiving the notice of revocation.

I understand that treatment, payment, or enrollment in a health plan will not be affected if I refuse to sign this authorization. However, for an applicant seeking employment, failure to sign this authorization will result in the job offer being revoked. For a current employee being tested for illegal drug or alcohol use, failure to sign this authorization will result in the Company making a determination of whether a Company policy has been breached based on the information the Company has in the absence of a test result. For a current employee seeking a leave of absence or reasonable accommodation, failure to sign this authorization may result in the leave or accommodation being denied.

I understand that I have the right to receive a copy of this authorization, at any time, upon my request.

What the Occupational Medicine Exam Request Form and Authorization Is

The Occupational Medicine Exam Request Form and Authorization is a written request plus a consent document employers or authorized clinicians use to schedule workplace medical or fitness-for-duty exams, document reason for testing, and obtain employee authorization to release medical information to the employer or occupational health provider. It combines patient identification, exam type and required tests, the employer’s purpose, and the employee’s HIPAA-compliant authorization to disclose protected health information. The form supports both in-person and electronically signed workflows under U.S. e‑signature law (ESIGN and state UETA/ESRA frameworks).

Why this form matters for employers and providers

A clear Request Form and Authorization protects employee privacy, documents lawful medical necessity, and creates an auditable record for workplace compliance. Properly completed forms reduce delays for scheduling, support HIPAA-required patient consent handling, and establish the chain of custody for medical findings used in employment decisions.
