About the Book
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulates the protection and release of patient's medical information. This concise, practical guide helps the advocate understand the sometimes dense rules in advising patients, physicians, and hospitals and in litigating HIPAA-related issues. It also clearly describes the many ways to obtain, maintain, and manage medical information under HIPAA. Topics include an overview of HIPAA, Authorizations, Disclosures Without Authorizations, Disclosures by Non-Covered Entities, and Penalties/Enforcement.
