HIPAA Question

Karen Schebesta, Office Manager

Good Afternoon Listies:

I hope that this email finds you all well. I have a question re: the patient
privacy documentation that is to be given to each patient. If a patient is
in a facility, do our practioners have to give them a copy and have them sign
that they received a copy?? I know this sounds like a silly question, but
as you know, many patients in nursing homes suffer from dementia, etc.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!
