What is the HIPAA consent form?
Before Europ Assistance can talk to any party other than you in the event of a medical emergency, they need to know that you give permission for them to discuss your medical case with your doctors, your insurance company, WISE and your family. You gave permission for this use of your medical information in your WISE application and the HIPAA consent form declares this permission to the other parties in a way that is compliant with the medical privacy law. This is why WISE asks you to complete this form in advance of any medical emergency.
