The referral or request from the PCP, the rendering of the opinion by the specialist or consultant, and the written report or findings sent from the specialist to the PCP

from the specialist to an additional specialist, and the written report of the findings provided to the specialist
The specialist request of a second opinion regarding the patient, the PCP’s advice regarding which second specialist the patient should see, and the second specialist’s report or findings
The referral from the PCP to the specialist, an additional referral from the
specialist to another specialist, and the written report or findings sent from the specialist to the PCP
Answer: A

These three things are: the referral or request from the PCP, the rendering of the opinion by the specialist or consultant, and the written report or findings sent from the specialist to the PCP.

Question: 45 HIPAA was created to:
Protect patient privacy
Enact ways to uncover fraud and abuse
Create standards of electronic transactions
All of the above
Only options A and B
Answer: D
All of the above, HIPAA was created to protect patient privacy, enact ways to uncover fraud and abuse, and to create standards of electronic transactions. HIPAA protects patient privacy through its strict standards of confidentiality, allows organizations like the OIG to uncover fraud and abuse, and gives these organizations the power to investigate and prosecute suspected fraud and abuse cases. HIPAA also creates standards of electronic transactions, such as the ANSI 5010 update and requires encryption and passwords on websites that contain patient data.
