HIPAA refers to the <span>Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. (You can give some background information about the act).
Now, to the main question. T</span><span>he steps a medical assistant can take to ensure HIPPA compliance in handling patient information are outlined as follows
1. Protected Health Information (PHI) should be kept secure and private (either on pass-worded computers or paper files and charts always safely locked up when not in use).
2. Keep strictly to the office policy, and ensure full implementation of laod down procedures. Refresher trainings may also be helpful.
3. Patients should be informed of their rights when their information is being taken and the medical assistant should support those rights.
4. D</span><span>on’t volunteer patient's information to outside companies/entities or allow them access to it, except with the patient's consent.

I think so, but not really but dark spots usually go away over time, instead there are creams made to use for the dark spots and it helps quite a lot. I can list some for you that I use such as Mdacne and hydroquinone cream I prefer hydroquinone cream more since its more effective and cheaper. Hope this helps:) Have a good day/night.
The answer would be A i assume, hope this helped !
