Question

Dr. Moodey saw John last week for his annual physical. Dr. Moodey sent John for some lab work as he was concerned that John may have developed diabetes mellitus. John asked the Medical Assistant, Sally, to contact him on his cell phone to discuss the results of the lab tests. When the results came in, Sally called John’s home phone and left a message for him to contact the office. Which of the Patients’ Bill of Rights afforded under Title II of HIPAA did Sally violate?

Answer 1

Based on the given scenario above, I can say that the Patients' Bill of Rights afforded under Title II of HIPAA that Sally violated is the right to request confidentiality for their communications within the facility. Confidentiality is very crucial in the healthcare setting as record of the patient is very private. Hope this answers your question.
