question: 24 of 25
which of the following situations does not require a patient - signed authorization to release?
when a patient is making the decision to switch to another medical provider in a different office

when a potential new employer is requesting the results from a preemployment exam

Patient - signed authorization is generally required for non - essential or non - care related release of medical information. When two medical providers are treating the same patient concurrently, information sharing is part of coordinated care and does not require an additional signed authorization. In other cases like a patient switching providers, a neighbor inquiring, or an employer requesting pre - employment exam results, signed authorization is needed.

When two medical providers are treating the same patient concurrently
