Compliance & Regulatory第 99 / 100 题
Obtaining a patient's signed authorization is generally required before a provider may:
a.Disclose PHI for purposes not otherwise permitted, such as many marketing uses
b.Submit a claim to the patient's insurer for treatment
c.Share information with another treating provider for care
d.Report a communicable disease as required by law
解析
HIPAA permits certain uses and disclosures of PHI without authorization, including for treatment, payment, and health care operations, and for legally required public-health reporting. However, disclosures outside these permitted purposes, such as most marketing or the sale of PHI, require the patient's written authorization. Billing staff should know which activities need a signed authorization.
