So far, the best scenario I have seen is the phone call that requests the
patient to call back to the office. Part of the call back involves a pin or
secret code that the patient was provided previously.

An
interesting question from our EMS HIPAA rep yesterday:
When EMS
treats and transports an accident victim to another hospital (one not part of
our enterprise), should we give them a copy of our NPP? One of the underlying issues centers on

Tracy, you must provide the NPP at first contact (with
some exceptions) or upon future request (for example after the NPP has been

include it in your NPP. Should you decide to change your practice, you will
need to change your NPP and announce the change before your practice is
