Why are HIPAA forms so important in Lake Oswego?

The HIPAA Authorization is one of the most overlooked — and most important — legal forms for families with young adults or aging parents.
Here’s why:
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) protects medical privacy. Without a signed HIPAA Authorization, doctors and hospitals legally cannot share medical information with you — even if you’re the parent or spouse.
That means in an emergency, you could be left in the dark.
A HIPAA Authorization allows:
Access to medical updates from healthcare providers
Permission to receive lab results and treatment information
The ability to advocate for your loved one when they can’t
It’s a simple form that prevents huge headaches (and heartaches) during emergencies.
For college students, it’s part of a complete Student Protection Package.
