Question

Can i withdraw a voluntary release of info because i do not agree with doctors written diagnosis?

Answer 1

As long as you have the ability to make your own decisions, you can do so.  And this includes changing your mind.

You may need to do this in writing though, as verbal is less tangible.

If you don't agree with a diagnosis, written or not, it is also your right to seek a second opinion.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

By federal law, and as part of the HIPPAA regulations, you have a legal right to withdraw consent to release information and you do not have to supply a reason. It's called "revocation of consent", and you must do it in writing; the actual statement is that you have that right "except to the extent that information has already been shared"--in other words, they can't take back what they've already disclosed, but they are prohibited from sharing anything further. You have to do it in writing though--agencies should have a form for this, but if not, you can write a statement:  "I hereby revoke authorization for __________ to share information with ____________ and expect no further communication will occur as of this date:__________. "
