Personalized support-
every step of the way!
By my signature below, I acknowledge that any agreements I have
made to restrict my protected health information do not apply to this
authorization and I instruct my providers to release and disclose my
entire medical record without restriction.
This information is to be disclosed under this authorization so
that Prudential may: 1) administer claims and determine or fulfill
responsibility for coverage and provision of benefits; 2) obtain
reinsurance; 3) administer coverage; and 4) conduct other legally
permissible activities that relate to any coverage I have or have
applied for with Prudential.
This authorization shall remain in force for 24 months following the
date of my signature below, while the coverage is in force, except to
the extent that state law imposes a shorter duration. A copy of this
authorization is as valid as the original. I understand that I have the right
to revoke this authorization in writing, at any time, by sending a written
request for revocation to Prudential at: P.O. Box 13480, Philadelphia,
PA 19176. I understand that a revocation is not effective to the extent
that any of my providers have relied on this authorization to the extent
that Prudential has a legal right to contest a claim under an insurance
policy or to contest the policy itself. I understand that any information
that is disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be redisclosed and
not covered by federal rules governing privacy and confidentiality of
health information.
I understand that if I refuse to sign this authorization to release the
entire medical record, Prudential may not be able to process my claim
for benefits and may not be able to make any benefit payments. I
understand that I have the right to receive a copy of this authorization.
The statements made by me on this claim are true and complete.
