AAMA CMA Practice Question

The best answer to the question is 'A written statement submitted by the patient revoking their previous authorization for release,' because a request to rescind authorization generally requires a written statement from the patient, as a verbal request might not provide adequate documentation. While medical assistants may need to notify relevant parties and understand the scope of the rescinded authorization, the specific act of rescinding must be initiated by a written statement from the patient, not merely a verbal declaration or general inquiry.
