Abstract: Due to their health conditions, some PCIP applicants and enrollees require assistance from a third party when making inquiries to the PCIP program. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the PCIP program may not disclose information about an applicant or enrollee to a third party without a valid authorization. The PCIP authorization form will allow a PCIP applicant or enrollee to designate an individual or organization to contact PCIP on behalf of the applicant or enrollee. This will make it easier for PCIP applicants and enrollees to obtain information and resolve issues regarding the application process, premium payments, claims status, and other matters.
