AAMA CMA Practice Question

Under HIPAA's right-of-access provisions, a patient at an outpatient clinic asks to review and receive a copy of the complete medical record maintained by the practice. Which action must the healthcare provider take to remain compliant with federal law?

  • Set a high, non-cost-based fee to discourage the patient from obtaining the records.

  • Deny the request without explanation because the records are the provider's property.

  • Permit inspection of the record but refuse to release any copies.

  • Grant the request and provide access to the records within the allowable time frame.
