SCCA Medical Records Request
Why do
I need this form?
As required by law, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
of 1996 (HIPAA). This includes protecting the confidentiality of your information. In certain situations, we need your written
permission to give your medical records to an outside facility/person, gather your medical records from an outside
facility/person, or talk with your family, friends, or others about your care. If you wish to give SCCA permission to do any of
these, please fill out the Medical Records Request form. You, as the patient, are not charged a fee for this.
If my health information is sent over email, how is it protected?
SCCA uses an email encryption service to ensure the confidentiality of the protected health information we send. SCCA also
uses the service to comply with federal regulations under HIPAA. For more information about SCCA’s Privacy Policy, please
visit our website at www.seattlecca.org/privacy-policy.
What is protected health information (PHI)?
PHI generally refers to demographic information (race, ethnicity, gender, age, etc.), medical histories, test and laboratory
results, mental health conditions, insurance information, and other data that a healthcare professional collects to identify an
individual and determine appropriate care.
Potential for my health information to be given to someone else:
Once SCCA gives your health information to another person or facility, the law does not always require the recipient to
maintain the confidentiality of your healthcare information.
What if I change my mind?
You may take away your permission to release your medical records by submitting a form to: SCCA Integrity Program, 825
Eastlake Ave East, M/S LG-600, P.O. Box 19023, Seattle, WA 98109 at any time. To get the form, email SCCA Integrity at
integrity@seattlecca.org.
If you take away your permission, it will not be effective if SCCA has already discussed, given, or
received information based on the original records release, or if SCCA requires the information in order to be paid for
treatment provided to you. You have the following rights:
To inspect or to receive a copy of your protected health information
To receive a copy of your signed records release
To refuse to sign the records release
For questions about this process, please call the SCCA Integrity Program at 206-606-7154 or email integrity@seattlecca.org.
You also understand that giving SCCA permission to give or get your medical records is voluntary and is not meant to alter
your ability to receive care at SCCA, except if: (1) You are participating in research-related treatment, such as a clinical trial;
(2) SCCA is giving your PHI to a third party who has authorization.
