        and disclose the information:

        information I request you to submit to Healthper from time to time while this 
        Authorization is in effect. )
 
        - I understand that if the person or entity that 
        receives the information is not a health care provider, clearinghouse, or health 
        plan or otherwise covered by federal and state privacy laws (including HIPAA),

        these regulations. 
 
        - I understand that I may refuse to sign this authorization 
        and that my refusal to sign will not affect my ability to obtain treatment or

        under this authorization. 
 
        - I understand that I may revoke this authorization 
        in writing at any time by notifying the Disclosing Party in writing, except to
