TX HHS Form 6700. Use and Release of Health Information Authorization
Form 6700, “Use and Release of Health Information Authorization,” is a document used in Texas to give the Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) permission to release a person’s Medicaid claims history. Because Medicaid claim data includes sensitive health information, Texas law requires a formal written authorization before any portion of this information can be shared. This form ensures that the individual understands what will be released, to whom it will be provided, and for what purpose.
