Important Information; Please Pay Close Attention (See Opt-Out Link in second Picture)
If you are a Veteran who receives health care from the VA, or does not receive any health care from the VA , The Veterans’ Health Administration (VHA) is authorized to release your private information without your personal authorization.
This privacy policy statement was released on September 9, 2019 from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs:
“This hereby notifies you, that as a United States Veteran, to whom and specifically, what, information can be released without your authorization.” (I myself, believe that strongly warrants your attention.)
Like many rulings and laws, there are both positive and negative aspects. You have the option, to declare what types of information you authorize to be released, as necessary, or you may choose to have absolutely no information authorized for inclusion.
For example: We all would want emergency care (ERs) to have access to our medical records. Thus, you would not want to opt-out of this select causation.
Most of us, probably do not want ( At least, I do not want) to release my private information to any third party. Such information may be considered in determining a Veteran’s credit rating, insurance premiums, access to housing, banking services and common utilities. Please bear in mind, these third party releases, have nothing at all to do with your health care needs. There are other sources from which third parties may seek the information that they specifically require.
You have a choice to allow un-authorized use of your records, or not. You can filter those choices based upon your own personal situation. This can be done by virtue of the internet, or in person, at your local VA establishment. Personally, I would recommend going to the local VA office, and speaking with an employed representative, to be certain that your wishes on the matter are properly communicated. This conversation will be documented, and possibly audibly recorded.
If you make no response to: the “Notice of Privacy Practices” it is implied that you authorize all requests by those desiring your private information.
No response from you, is your authorization to release such information to those you may not want it released to.

SPC Nancy Greene - My suggestion, to you, SPG Greene, is that you look into The VA Mission Act. The VA Mission Act, which is discussed both on RP and OnlyUSA.us, may be the answer for Community Care Providers; for either yourself, or SSgt Boyd Herrst. It is entirely possible, that either one of you ( or any other Veteran ) be able to seek treatment at a more convenient location. I am quite regretful for your anger and your inconvenience. My message to you today was intended to safeguard your privacy. If I may assist you I any other way, please advise.

Could maybe add misappropriation of funds when they ask why just say incompetence in performance at your GS grade in your specialty. If they say this isn’t my original specialty .. ohh ? We maybe you should go back to it !(got that from heartbreak ridge with Clint Eastwood when the General asked the LTC what his last job was.. he said supply . General asked if he was good at it and he said yes well you can imagine what that General said.. SPC Nancy Greene

I already have enough serious problems with Identity Theft and now the VA is giving our information away. I stopped going to my local VA and do not plan to ever go back.
I never received any notification about this new policy so they either never sent me a notice or just assumed a no response from me will justify them doing what they want anyway.
Most of my information is already out there including all of my VA medical records among other important documents because of repeat burglaries in a previous apartment and nobody in this miserable city cared to do anything about it. More information probably won't make much difference when it's probably already being sold on the Dark Web.
