HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal law enacted to protect people’s privacy in terms of health records and communication. It does affect churches, and these are the changes we have made at Zion: We are not able to list a person’s name and illness on the prayer list without that person’s specific written authorization. We may pray for people during worship, but only if that person has asked for prayers by either completing a prayer authorization form, or by verbally asking the pastor, parish nurse, or office staff to put your name on the list. Only the person who has the health issue may request prayers (or a parent/guardian for a child). We may not disclose any health information without the patient’s written authorization, for that illness or condition. Authorization to share information does not carry over to a new health situation. If a person heals from an illness, then later has another health issue, a new authorization form must be filled out and signed by that same person before we can share information about the new condition. Special prayer requests submitted on the communion registration card are never placed on any public prayer list or chain, but referred to a pastor, parish nurse, or deacon. Authorization forms are available in the church office or below. Web forms need to be printed out, signed, and mailed in or dropped off at the church.
PRAYER AUTHORIZATION FORM: I hereby give my permission to have my name placed on the public prayer list at Zion Lutheran Church of Warroad, MN. This includes the following:
This permission is given during this particular health issue (list as you
wish to have it appear in the “Partners in Prayer” list and the website; for
example, “going through cancer treatment” or “recovering from recent
accident”): _________________________________________________ I would like Zion’s phone and/or e-mail prayer chain to be enacted for my
prayer concern. If yes, check one: Once I have recovered from this health issue, I will let the church know to remove my name. The following family/friend contact person(s) has (have) my permission to share news of my condition: ________________________________________________________________. I also give permission for a pastor, parish nurse, or deacon to visit me at my home or at the hospital.
Name (printed): ________________________________ Signature (or signature of the guardian of a minor): ________________________________ Date: ________________________________ Witness: ________________________________
