    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) form is indeed associated with the Privacy Rule of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). The NPP form outlines how a healthcare provider or organization may use and disclose an individual's protected health information (PHI) and informs patients about their privacy rights. It is a requirement for healthcare providers to provide patients with a copy of the NPP form, explaining their privacy practices and how they protect patient information. Therefore, the statement is correct.

    Explanation
    HIPAA is a set of rules that healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals, must follow. These rules aim to ensure that patient accounts, medical billing, and medical records adhere to consistent standards in terms of documentation, handling, and privacy.

    The Modified Breach notification has a minimum of 4 factors

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Modified Breach notification requires a minimum of 4 factors to be considered true. This means that there are specific criteria or elements that must be met in order for the notification to be considered modified and valid. Without these 4 factors, the notification would not meet the requirements and would not be considered valid. Therefore, the statement "The Modified Breach notification has a minimum of 4 factors" is true.

    The following code sets are used in HIPAA transactions: 

    • ICD-9-CM codes

    • MI6 codes

    • NDC codes

    • A & C

    Correct Answer
    A. A & C
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A & C because both ICD-9-CM codes and NDC codes are commonly used in HIPAA transactions. ICD-9-CM codes are used to classify and code diagnoses and procedures, while NDC codes are used to identify prescription drugs. MI6 codes are not typically used in HIPAA transactions, so they are not included in the correct answer.

    HIPAA requires that all patients are able to: 

    • Decline medical intervention

    • Be informed how personal information is shared & used

    • Can not access their own medical records.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Be informed how personal information is shared & used
    Explanation
    HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, mandates that patients have the right to be informed about how their personal information is shared and used. This ensures that patients have control over their own medical information and can make informed decisions about its use. This requirement promotes transparency and protects patient privacy.

    The HITECH Act expands the scope of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and 

    • Decreases the penalties for HIPAA vIolations.

    • Limits amount of people to have access to a patients records at a time.

    • Increases the penalties for HIPAA violations.

    • Removes the possibility of W2 employees to have access to patient information.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases the penalties for HIPAA violations.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "increases the penalties for HIPAA violations." The HITECH Act, which stands for Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, was enacted in 2009 to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. One of the key provisions of the HITECH Act is the increase in penalties for HIPAA violations. This means that organizations or individuals who fail to comply with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules can now face higher fines and penalties for their actions. The HITECH Act aims to strengthen the enforcement of HIPAA regulations and ensure the protection of patients' health information.

    The Security Rule deals with identifiable health information as defined by 16 HIPAA identifiers

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Security Rule does not specifically deal with identifiable health information as defined by 16 HIPAA identifiers. Instead, it focuses on the protection of electronic protected health information (ePHI) that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate. The Security Rule establishes standards and safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI, but it does not specifically address the definition of identifiable health information.
