Video Transcript

Under HIPAA, patients have specific rights regarding their protected health information. First, covered entities are required to provide patients with a "Notice of Privacy Practices" (NPP). This document outlines the entity’s policies regarding the use and disclosure of a patient’s PHI. The NPP must be given to patients as soon as possible following an emergency. Under HIPAA, patients have the right to inspect, correct and request that changes be made to their PHI. Patients may also request that their PHI be communicated to them by other than the normal means and at alternate locations to protect confidentiality.
