How to Send and Execute Medical Records Authorizations with SignCEO
Law practices, insurance claims adjusters, medical providers, and patients routinely need to execute medical records release authorizations to permit disclosure of health records to authorized third parties. Requiring patients to print, sign, and mail paper authorization forms creates delays that hold up insurance settlements and legal filings.
With SignCEO, organizations upload medical records authorization forms, specify records date ranges and receiving entities, and assign signature blocks. Patients receive a secure email link and sign with their finger on a smartphone or laptop in seconds without downloading software or creating accounts.
SignCEO is an electronic signature execution software. SignCEO does not draft medical release forms, review disclosures for statutory compliance, or provide healthcare legal advice. Users upload their own customized release forms and are responsible for ensuring their record workflows adhere to applicable federal and state privacy statutes. SignCEO makes no claims of specialized health data certification.
