    How Hipaa Violations Affect the Medical Billing Process

A patients’ medical records, the progress notes, reports and other clinical materials are legal documents that belong to the provider who created them. But the provider cannot withhold the information in the records unless providing it would be detrimental to the patients’ health. This information belongs to the patient.

What information can be legally shared with other providers and health plans and what information must the patient specifically authorize to be released (Valerius, Bayes, Newby, & Seggern, 2008).

Since my mother cannot talk because she was on ventilator, I was exclusively allowed to stay in the ward to look after my mother.

I had an impression that he must be an egoistic doctor, yet he possessed an air of confidence and seemed to be well-respected figure by the likes of nurses and fellow doctors.…
