    HIPAA protects all individually identifiable patient information, no matter the form or where it is located.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    HIPAA, which stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal law in the United States that aims to protect the privacy and security of individuals' health information. It applies to all individually identifiable patient information, regardless of its form or location. This means that whether the information is in electronic, paper, or oral form, and regardless of whether it is stored in a healthcare provider's office or a cloud-based system, HIPAA regulations still apply. Therefore, the statement "HIPAA protects all individually identifiable patient information, no matter the form or where it is located" is true.

    Company policies are not a HIPAA requirement.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Company policies are not a HIPAA requirement because HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal law that sets the standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. While HIPAA requires covered entities (such as healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses) to have policies and procedures in place to safeguard patient information, it does not specifically mandate company policies. However, it is common practice for organizations to develop and implement their own policies to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations. Therefore, the statement "Company policies are not a HIPAA requirement" is false.
