Instructions

Some covered entities realize the importance of the NPP, but others do not. City Clinic believes that the NPP is a waste of time, money, and effort. Mary, the Office Manager, believes that patients don’t read it or keep it when it is given to them. Therefore, City Clinic has discontinued the practice of providing it to patients or updating it.

  1. Is this a HIPAA violation with respect to every patient who seeks services at City Clinic on a given day? Why or why not?
  2. Is it a HIPAA violation with respect to telemedicine (that is, where a patient is not seen face-to-face by a provider at City Clinic but by a secure electronic video system) Why or why not?
  3. The NPP is posted on City Clinic’s website and there is a copy posted near the front door. Is this adequate to maintain HIPAA compliance?
  4. Copies of the NPP are maintained in Mary’s drawer and given to patients who specifically request a copy. Is this adequate to maintain HIPAA compliance?
  5. What are the possible consequences if City Clinic continues its practice of not providing NPPs to its patients?
