patients sign a release-of-information document. The release of information usually includes the information that will be released; the persons or parties that the information will be shared with, such as other health care providers and insurance providers; the purpose of the release of the information; and the period of time during which the information will be released. Only the professionals who are involved with the care will have access to the patient's medi-cal records.
