The policy of disclosing the "minimum necessary" e-PHI addresses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The policy of disclosing the "minimum necessary" e-PHI typically applies to authorizing personnel to view PHI. This policy is intended to ensure that only the minimum amount of PHI necessary for a particular purpose or use is disclosed or made available to authorized personnel. It does not apply only to those who bill health claims, or to all clinical staff treating a patient. While it may be relevant when information is sent to a health plan for reimbursement, this is not the only context in which this policy applies.
