Signatures

This information has been disclosed to you from records protected by federal confidentiality rules (42 CFR part 2). The federal rules prohibit you from making any further disclosure of information in this record that identifies a patient as having or having had a substance use disorder either directly, by reference to publicly available information, or through verification of such identification by another person unless further disclosure is expressly permitted by the written consent of the individual whose information is being disclosed or as otherwise permitted by 42 CFR part 2. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is not sufficient for this purpose (see 42 CFR 2.31 ). The federal rules restrict any use of the information to investigate or prosecute with regard to a crime any patient with a substance use disorder, except as provided at 42 CFR 2.12(c)(5) and 42 CFR 2.65.

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format.

This consent to use of electronic records and signatures will apply to this and future records sent electronically to you by us. You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically by sending an email to Compliance@OhioGuidestone.org.
