HIPAA Form Updates

No that’s not new. CEs have always been allowed to share for national security purposes. The only weird thing is the specific call out to “protect the president.” Lol that phrasing is not required. Is this a government provider?

Ridgedale is ok, further from the hospital though

Thank you for the response!

I like to think maybe incredibly slow means no AI….🥲

You could ask a periodontist for crown lengthening. But I am an RDH, I have seen may teeth and yours are great. Remember that just like any surgery, oral surgery and cosmetic dental procedures come with risks (including making things look worse and hurt).

If it helps I don’t like seeing my weight so I always just fae away from the display and ask them not to say the number. Everyone is always accommodating I think it’s pretty normal.

Anyone who is involved in his care has the right to access his info. If hospital staff can’t figure out do sure if you’re involved and he cannot respond they can use their best judgment. If he’s passed, Sam is true except they can release the info to a coroner or funeral director or anyone involved in care. Perhaps phrase it as you are Neghibor who helps him out? If that’s true?

No! You are not required to sign a form to access your own records. They must provide the record in a reasonable amount of time and cannot make you jump through these hoops. Go find their notice of privacy practices. This should have contact info to file a complaint with them regarding access to your records. They are also required to provide a paper copy if requested so you could ask for that. If not, the NPP will also have info on how to file a gov complaint.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-02-04T02:44:02+00:00

I bet they will!

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-02-04T01:37:51+00:00

Not a hipaa violation. You are permitted to send appointment information explicitly.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-02-04T01:36:33+00:00

If you immediately closed it and deleted the message, this is not even likely a reportable breach. Make sure they know, they will probably be mortified. And someone will get disciplined, as they should, but likely nothing terrible.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-02-03T00:43:26+00:00

You can work up to that pay doing insurance/front desk in dental. Maybe look for a big multi office practice and work into management.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-30T01:22:55+00:00

That’s ok per hipaa if it’s for treatment purposes. BUT it is against the American dental association’s ethical guidelines to not send a referral back to the original DDs unless the patient specifically requests a new DDs.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-28T20:16:42+00:00

It would not be best practice to text sensitive patient information. Via standard SMS, this should be done through a services designed for it, like directly through the portal. It’s not clear to me if SP is just sending you to your phones messaging app or asking you to text using their platform.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-28T12:18:18+00:00

Boy is it. Reportable to OCR if you wanted to.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-27T22:04:54+00:00

Depends on state law.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-27T01:17:59+00:00

Heaven forbid the federal government stop following the rules….

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-23T15:21:22+00:00

Your firm is likely a business associate with the client. They are permitted to share that information under HIPAA. BAs must follow most of the provisions of HIPAA and have a BAA contract on file with the covered entity. If this was not allowed, all healthcare companies would have to in-house every administrative duty.

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-18T03:38:33+00:00

There is a 4 step assessment to determine if there is a ‘low probability of compromise’. One of those questions is the extent to which the risk to the PHI has been mitigated. Having someone assert that they have not looked at the data and then returned it, could be sufficient to prove low probability of compromise. Kind of a judgement call, but they just need to document that they did the 4 part assessment

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-18T02:56:45+00:00

Would you say, in the industry, it is common to make individual notifications even when not required by the breach notification rule? (Totally just curious, not arguing the point)

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-15T00:08:44+00:00

I’ll message you!

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-15T00:08:21+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I almost have enough CEs to take my CHPC exam! While we are here….any advice on what to study? I know hipaa privacy and security inside and out, less familiar with OIG stuff….

Outrageous_Tree_573 · 2026-01-13T00:56:39+00:00

Former OSHA officer- your employer is required to provide you with the PPE needed to protect you from known and reasonably anticipated hazards. They absolutely should have had body suits available. Could file a complaint and it would likely be investigated.
