Assignment - Medical Law and Ethics At Pearson Physicians Group, it is a requirement that all new patients are given a personal copy of the office's HIPAA Privacy Policy and then sign a HIPAA Authorization and Disclosure form. During a recent office staff meeting, Jennifer, the office manager and HIPAA Security Officer, discussed the importance of making sure that all patients have signed the form and that this documentation is accurately recorded in their medical records. Evelyn, a medical assistant who usually works in the back office, is covering the front desk reception station for a coworker who is out sick. A new patient, 33-year-old Kathleen Mills, is checking in for her appointment. Evelyn supplies Ms. Mills with the new patient paperwork to fill out and sign. Ten minutes later, Ms. Mills returns to the reception desk with the completed paperwork. She says to Evelyn, "I didn't sign the HIPAA Authorization and Disclosure form because it specifically states that I should have been given a copy of the office's HIPAA Privacy Policy. Do you have a copy of the policy that I could read over?" Evelyn replies, "Well, I'm sure it should be in there. Do you mind if I take a look?" Taking the paperwork from Ms. Mills, Evelyn sorts through the papers. "It seems as if you are right, but you know what? People usually just end up throwing the disclosure form away. It simply states that we have the right to share your personal health information with your insurance company for the purpose of reimbursement." Ms. Mills politely commented, "Still, I don't feel comfortable signing the form unless I have read the Privacy Policy for myself." Evelyn then tells Ms. Mills, "Well, I'm pretty sure that you can't be seen unless that paper is signed. So why not just sign it now and I can see if I can find a copy of the Privacy Policy around here somewhere." 1. Review the first boldface statement.
