ALERT: DO NOT SIGN HIPAA "PRIVACY" FORMS!

You are not required to sign any form acknowledging your receipt of a health care facility's "Notice of Privacy Practices." Federal law only requires the facility to make a good faith effort to obtain your signature. Contrary to popular belief, signing this form does not provide you with any privacy or other rights...and could be used against you. if you ever declare that your privacy rights have been violated. The form only tells you how many people can have access without your consent.
