Your Legal Advocate for Trusts, Estates & Future Planning
Managing medical information requires careful planning. A HIPAA authorization lets you control who may access PHI and under what circumstances.
Our Marion-based team helps you understand options, draft precise documents, and coordinate with your care and legal teams.
A well-crafted authorization protects privacy, supports care coordination, and helps with estate planning by ensuring the right people can access PHI.
Grah Law LLC serves Wisconsin families with practical guidance on HIPAA authorizations, privacy rights, and related estate planning needs.
HIPAA authorizations are written permissions that allow the release of protected health information to specific people or organizations.
We help you decide what to share, who can receive it, and for how long, while staying compliant with privacy laws.
A HIPAA authorization is a signed document that designates what PHI may be disclosed, to whom, for what purpose, and for how long.
Common elements include the PHI description, recipients, purpose, time limits, revocation rights, and safeguards; we guide you from draft to execution.
This glossary explains terms used in HIPAA authorizations, such as PHI, Authorization, and Revocation.
PHI means health information that identifies an individual and is protected under HIPAA rules.

The person or organization designated to receive PHI under the authorization.

A HIPAA authorization is a legal permit to share PHI with a named person or entity. It should specify what information is shared, who may disclose it, and for what purpose.
An authorization may designate doctors, hospitals, care coordinators, family members, or guardians. It should name the recipients and the PHI that can be released. It can also set time limits and revocation rights.
The duration is set in the document and may end when the purpose is fulfilled or upon revocation. In some cases, ongoing access requires renewal.
Yes. You can revoke an authorization at any time in writing, subject to privacy rules. We can help you prepare a revocation and notify providers.
While not required, consulting with a lawyer helps ensure the form meets legal requirements and aligns with your estate planning goals.
HIPAA sets federal privacy standards; Wisconsin may add state-level rules. We help you navigate both to keep information secure.
