What happens once I complete my opt-out form?

Your health information will be deleted from the Florida HIE within 5 business days. Once your data is deleted, your provider will not be able to search in the Florida HIE for your health information. However, some providers may use other electronic methods to send information about their patients to each other directly. This is the same as when providers share information by fax or mail.

If a provider searched the Florida HIE for your information and put that information into their medical records before you completed your opt-out form, that information will remain in that provider’s medical records.
