medical release

Doctor's permission form

A medical release is a signed document authorizing healthcare providers to share a patient's medical information with specified parties—insurance companies, employers, attorneys, or family members.

Privacy laws generally prohibit disclosure without such authorization.

The term also refers to a form releasing a facility from liability: Parents signed a medical release before the school trip.
