other privacy acts

[Thomas Sullivan]

I am implementing the Privacy Rule in my private practice and have found 2 references in the rule to privacy acts which I am unfamiliar with. The rule references the Privacy Act of 1974 and also Privacy Act 5 USC in the discussions about when a CE can deny an individual access to their PHI on Unreviewable grounds.  Could this learned group help me out with understanding the implications of these?  Thank you all in advance….     Thomas Sullivan MD. 5440 Chandley Farm Circle Centreville, VA. 20120 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
