Ep. 74- Back to Basics: Understanding a Patient’s Right to Request PHI Amendments

It is back-to-school season, and The Healthcare Compliance Pod is going back to school too! Each week in August, we’re discussing one fundamental basic compliance obligation for healthcare providers, centered exclusively on patient rights under HIPAA.

Last week, we discussed a patient’s right to access their protected health information (PHI). On this week’s episode, your host, Susan Freed, provides an overview of a patient’s right to request their health information be amended and what to do if you receive this type of request. Check out the Ep. 74 sample policy and forms for PHI amendments below. Free resources from previous episodes can be found here.
