Authorization for Release

An authorization for release of confidential information is a written statement from the individual or the individual’s legal guardian; or in the case of a minor, the individual’s parent/legal guardian; who authorizes the disclosure of all or part of the medical record of the individual.

Authorization for Release of Your Medical Record

Requests for copies of your Dekalb Community Service Board medical records must be made in writing, must include your original signature, and must be hand-delivered, mailed, scanned or faxed to the Dekalb Community Service Board. You will need to complete the Dekalb Community Service Board Authorization to Release Protected Health Information (PHI) Form.  If you are actively receiving treatment, your physician must sign to authorize the release for family involvement or personal use.

Fees

There is no charge for medical records that are delivered directly to another doctor’s office or medical care provider for continuation of care.  There is a charge for records requested for personal reasons.  The fee is $0.25 per page.
