We are
working on having an authorization that will cover these "gray areas". It
will follow the guidelines with HIPAA and allow us to share information with
anyone the patient wishes to be involved in their care. It will only be
valid for a year, and the patient will be able to revoke it at any time.
We will then note the system that there is an auth on file and that oral
information can be released to the other person.
They
will have to identify the patient and themselves before any information can
be released. This will also be used when a doctor has made
the decision to involve a third party in the patient's care, we will use
the same process, have the doctor complete the form so the staff knows
it is ok to speak to the third party, per the physician's judgment.

Subject: What PHI to give out to callers?
What kind of policies are offices developing for disclosing patient health information to people over the phone, when patients and people other than the patient, call for example?---
Thanks again.
