According to the regs, if the patient has not submitted a written statement of disagreement when a covered entity denies their request for an amendment, the covered entity must include the patient's request for an amendment and its denial of it with any subsequent disclosure of the PHI only if the individual has requested such action.
I am having a little trouble with the way this is worded -- if the patient does not submit a written statement of disagreement, does the covered entity have the option to send out the request for an amendment and their denial of it with future disclosures, or if may they only do that when the patient submits a written statement of disagreement?
Thanks again!
