Federal Privacy Laws

How can the radiology department reduce paper waste while still complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?

  • A State the privacy policy to the patient verbally
  • B Post the privacy notice in a prominent location instead
  • C Direct patients to the correct area of the hospital website
  • D Confirm that patients are given the privacy notice on their first visit
Explanation

A direct-treatment health care provider must give each individual its Notice of Privacy Practices no later than the first service delivery and make a good-faith effort to obtain written acknowledgment of receipt. A new acknowledgment is required only when the notice is first provided, so confirming first-visit distribution avoids routinely giving the same notice to returning patients.
