PRIVACY ACT AND PAPER WORK REDUCTION ACT INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires us to notify you that this
information collection is in accordance with the clearance requirements of section 3507 of the Act. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless is displays a valid OMB number. We anticipate that the time expended by all individuals who must complete this form
will average 2 minutes. This includes the time it will take to read the instructions, gather the necessary facts and fill out this form. The execution of this form does
not authorize the release of information other than that specifically described below.
The information requested on this form is solicited under Title 38 U.S.C. The form authorizes release of information in accordance with the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act, 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164; 5 U.S.C. 552a; and 38 U.S.C. 5701 and 7332 that you specify. Your disclosure of the information
requested on this form is voluntary. However, if information needed to locate records for release is not furnished completely and accurately, VA will be unable to
comply with the request. The Veterans Health Administration may not condition the provision of treatment, payment, enrollment in the VA Health Care Program, or
eligibility for benefits on the signing of an authorization, except for research-related treatment where an authorization for the use or disclosure of individually-
identifiable health information for such research is required. VA may disclose the information that you put on the form as permitted by law. VA may make a
"routine use" disclosure of the information as outlined in the Privacy Act system of records notices identified as 24VA10A7 "Patient Medical Record - VA",
08VA05 "Employee Medical File System Records (Title 38)-VA" and in accordance with the Notice of Privacy Practices. VA may also use this information to
identify Veterans and person claiming or receiving VA benefits and their records, and for other purposes authorized or required by law.
