My new doctor want me to sign a form to release my medical records but wants me to leave the Facility Releasing Information and the date blank. I don't know if I should sign this. Why would they want that to be left blank?

Do not sign the form with the blank. The Release is only good for 90 days. In your case, your doctor is telling you that he will always have the option (without your knowledge) to request your medical information.

Why does your doctor want you to sign the agreement? Generally I would not leave anything blank unless the reason was fully explained.
