thanks to everyone for all the responses. While I am familiar with references in the Privacy regs, my state statutes, my own organizational p/p's, it appears that everyone agrees that there are no references in the security regs to documentation retention. Opinions are varied from.... likely to follow the Privacy regs....to....create your own....to follow your state, etc........ thanks again
