Release from medical confidentiality
To obtain necessary information from medical professionals, a formal release from medical confidentiality is required in certain cases. This release allows doctors and other medical experts to pass on patient-related information, which is normally protected by confidentiality, to authorised third parties. Such a measure is particularly important in legal matters, insurance questions or other specific situations in which detailed medical information is essential for clarifying or handling a case.
