Protect Your Practice: Know When You Need Patient Authorization for Release of Records
Navigating the legal landscape of patient records release can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. This course empowers physical therapists and practice owners and business office personnel with the knowledge to confidently determine when a patient’s authorization is legally required for the disclosure of clinical and billing records.
Through real-world scenarios, including subpoenas, court orders, attorney demand letters, and workers’ compensation requests you will learn how to assess each situation and apply the correct procedures. We will break down HIPAA regulations and provide clear, actionable guidance to help you stay compliant, protect patient privacy, and safeguard your practice.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate the content of the record request to identify if patient authorization or alternative administrative procedures are necessary.
- Distinguish between a subpoena and a court order in the context of HIPAA's Use and Disclosure regulations.
- Describe the role and requirements of HIPAA's satisfactory assurances in situations where patient authorization is unavailable.
