Communication between medical providers can sometimes be necessary for best care practices. A Release of Information form gives the organization (such as your PCP, hospital, specialist…) authority to release a specific portion of your medical record or communicate in other ways about your care.
For example, if you give permission for your PCP to receive information from your medical record at Cognitive Behavior Institute, you would have to sign a Release of Information stating CBI can send portions of your CBI records to the PCP and vice versa.
When there is a release of information for you to sign, it will appear in your portal under action items:
From your home page find action items and click on please fill as seen above.
After you click please fill, the release of information will open like this:
