Confidentiality
In a standard diagnostic evaluation, all information obtained during the interview and testing process remains confidential, and is shared only with the referring clinician. If collateral information is believed necessary to complete the diagnostic evaluation, individuals will receive assistance in completing a Release of Information form. When an individual is referred for a forensic evaluation (i.e., by a court or other agency in the context of a criminal or civil matter), the traditional doctor-patient relationship does not apply, and the individual is not the holder of privilege. Individuals are apprised of this important difference in confidentiality at the outset of the evaluation, and are informed of the specific purpose of the evaluation. Our practice is compliant with all relevant HIPAA regulations.
