Fill and sign a medical records release (HIPAA authorization)
A medical records release authorizes a healthcare provider to share your records with someone else — another doctor, an attorney, a family member, an insurer. HIPAA authorizations need specific fields (purpose, expiration, right to revoke); AttachKit helps you fill them in.
Who needs it: Patients switching providers. People with ongoing legal cases requesting medical evidence. Family members coordinating elder care. Anyone authorizing release of their PHI.

General information, not legal or tax advice
This page is general information about a commonly-used document. State and local law varies — for advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. AttachKit fills the PDF; you're responsible for whether the contents are right for your case.
- Does this work with my provider's specific HIPAA form?
- Yes — most providers accept any release that has the HIPAA-required elements (patient info, recipient, purpose, info type, expiration, signature, date, right to revoke). If your provider mandates their own form, drop it in AttachKit and fill it.
- Can the release expire?
- Yes — HIPAA requires either an expiration date OR an event-based expiration ('when my litigation ends'). Most releases default to 1 year. AttachKit fills whatever you enter.
- What if I want to revoke a release I already signed?
- You can revoke a HIPAA release in writing at any time. The revocation doesn't undo disclosures already made under the original release, but stops future ones.
