Your problem could be with your form and not the form. I know a few years back my company had to change out outdated forms to comply with HIPPA. It has to do more with legal wording on the form and not with what you are requesting it for.

I have a RELEASE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION authorization from USAA, in my hand, dated January 2011, that says:
We are not HIPAA covered entities. Your disclosure of information to us is not subject to the Minimum Necessary standard.
Further, it states "For purposes of this Authorization, "Information" means all records
or knowlede concerning the patient's health, any injuries, medical history, mental and physical conditions, before and after the date of this Authorization, regardless of the time of occurrence. The term "records" Includes, but
is not limited to, written or graphic documentation, including notes, billing records or statements, sound recordings, computer records of health care services, and diagnostic documentation, such as x-rays, lab
test results, and other test results such as blood alcohol level and drug use. In addition to medical records developed by the Provider described above, this Authorization also Includes any medical records received by the Provider from other providers."
Rest ASSURED, I am NOT signing it!

I have that same form which goes on to say, 'They want ANY AND ALL INFORMATION medical, dental, mental health notes recordings etc from MY ENTIRE LIFE.' It goes on to say that ALL my medical, dental, mental health conversations I've EVER HAD with ANY PROVIDER EVER may be REDISCLOSED by USAA and is no longer covered by federal privacy regulations. It ALSO says that though this is VOLUNTARY, if I don't sign they can discontinue processing any claim.
These people want permission to dig into my life to find any reason they can to not pay me for my injuries. SO I have to lay my entire life open to them with the knowledge that they can republish my private medical information. So, what does my military related mental health conversations have to do with my being stopped at a red light and hit by their client? Why do they need my LIFETIME medical records anyway? Why do they say its voluntary then say if I don't they can quit processing my claim? WHY because they want you to sign your rights away before you speak to a lawyer.
My life is not to be redistributed and unprotected at will. Some dipshit earlier on said 'go ahead and sign it, if you've done nothing wrong what do you have to worry about?' That dude works for the company or is functionally retarded. In this day and age do you really want your ENITRE med, dental, psych records FOREVER ON SOMEONE DATABASE with no legal protections? Really? DON"T SIGN. I will sign a limited release of my own from a specific DR who treated me ABOUT a specific treatments, beginning the DATE OF THE ACCIDENT. in 6 month increments.
Don't be stupid. These guys are looking for absolutely ANY reason to deny you. It will ONLY help their cause. It will not help you in any way. To numbnuts above, if you ever get in legal trouble, be sure to confess every thing you've ever done wrong to the prosecutor, 'What could happen?' I'm angry... Im angry to be put in such a position where I'm told I will have no privacy, the information is going to be used to find a way out, if I don't sign they can walk away, they can redistribute ALL my private mental health(Army Vet with PTSD) all that private stuff is open to them and they can do WHATEVER they want with it. I'm not USAA's Next Victim.

Correct.... any valid reason. Is that not fair?

No you don't. Someone can ask that you do something... it does not mean you need to do it. Feel free to gather your medical information yourself and present it to them. Most of the time they will still make an offer. But they could still refuse.
Let's look at the big picture. You are making a claim. You are stating that you were injured as the result of someone's negligence. You are asking for payment from someone because of this. So shouldn't that person have the right to ask that you prove your claim? If I tell a judge that you owe me money should I not not need to show that this is true?
So when you say USAA is diving into your personal medical life, well... this is simply your doing.
On that release feel free to cross out the redistribution part. I'd do it.

This does not negate the fact that you must authorize release of your records to the insurance company, it simply means the insurance company does not have a responsibility to store your records in redundant computer systems that your doctor or the hospital does. The insurance company must still treat your information confidentially and can be held liable for the improper release of personally identifiable information and protected health information under other laws, such as the Insurance Information and Privacy Protection Act.
Don't be too concerned that HIPAA doesn't necessarily apply.

I was in an accident and the insurance co wants me to sign a HIPPA form to release medical records. My question is why do they(insurance co) need to access all my medical records instead of the ones pertaining to the date of and after the accident? Do I have the right to stipulate the time period they can access?
