9 Key Points for Patient Access HIPAA preempts contrary state laws (laws that prohibit providing individuals with access). HIPAA covered laboratories must continue to abide by state law that provides more stringent access to protected health information (PHI). more stringent means greater rights of access to PHI. 9
10 Key Points for Patient Access 10 Laboratory is considered to be a covered entity (CE) under HIPAA if it performs one or more covered transactions electronically. Some examples: o Transmitting health care claims to a health plan o Requesting prior authorization from a health plan for a health care service
11 Key Points for Patient Access Test reports maintained by or for a CE laboratory are considered part of a designated record set as defined at 45 CFR Patient has the right to all PHI in said designated record set for as long as the information is maintained by the laboratory ( (a)(1)). 11
12 Key Points for Patient Access The CE laboratory is required to provide the individual with a copy of their test report in the form/format that the individual requests if a copy in that form/format is readily producible Must satisfy the verification requirements of (h) before providing an individual with access. 12
