Information concerning my treatment with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ products, including relevant diagnoses and prescriptions; and
Information about my health insurance benefits, including deductibles and out-of-pocket costs
I understand and authorize Jazz Pharmaceuticals to use and further disclose my Health Information it receives as a result of this Form for the following purposes:

contacting and providing my Health Information to patient advocacy organizations, patient assistance programs, co-pay assistance, or similar programs to determine eligibility for coverage and enrollment;
de-identifying my Health Information by aggregating it for research purposes;
managing Jazz-sponsored patient support programs and activities, including the JazzCares® program and administrative purposes that support these services and programs
I understand Jazz Pharmaceuticals will not sell my Health Information to third parties, but Jazz Pharmaceuticals may disclose such information to its affiliates and services providers for the purpose described in this Form. I also understand that if I do not consent to the use of my Health Information for the above purposes, I will not be able to participate in Jazz-sponsored patient support programs and activities, including the JazzCares® program.
I understand and authorize Jazz Pharmaceuticals to contact me using the contact information provided to Jazz to enroll me in, operate, and administer any Jazz-sponsored patient support services, including the JazzCares® program, through a variety of means including email, postal mail, phone, fax, or SMS/text unless I opt out of these communications by contacting Jazz Pharmaceuticals using the contact information below. I understand that the operation and administration of certain of these services and/or programs may require that Jazz contact me by telephone or SMS/text.
I understand Jazz Pharmaceuticals may report back to my prescriber(s) and their staff, my health insurer(s), or the Pharmacy any Health Information about me that Jazz Pharmaceuticals may create or receive. I understand that my health insurer(s), Pharmacy, and third-party vendor(s) may receive remuneration (payment) in exchange for disclosing my Health Information to Jazz Pharmaceuticals (including JazzCares®, its affiliates, and services providers acting as data processors) and/or for providing me with support services for the purposes described above.
I understand that after my Health Information is transmitted to Jazz Pharmaceuticals, it may no longer be protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will not disclose my Health Information to a third party that is not related to the patient support programs (such as a family member or friend) unless I specifically authorize Jazz to do so. If I request that a person or an entity other than Jazz Pharmaceuticals receives my Health Information, I understand the receiver may not be subject to HIPAA or other privacy laws, and the Health Information might be re-disclosed by the recipient.
No Effect on Treatment
I understand that I may refuse to sign this Form and my refusal will not affect the treatment I receive from my prescriber(s) and their staff, my health insurer(s), and the Pharmacy, nor will it affect my enrollment or eligibility for health insurance benefits to which I am otherwise entitled.
