Message----- Spencer, this is not how I read this provision. I believe you must provide the entire
NPP, not just part of it. IMHO,
the layer is simply a bulleted cover sheet that is meant to assist the patient in
better understanding their rights. Donald L. Ribelin HIPAA Project

Message----- The recent guidance allows for a "layered" NPP - you can
provide your customers with a shot form and then provide the long form if it is
requested. Spencer D. Hall Health Information Security Officer St. Vincent's (904) 308-7029

Message----- Don, I
consult with some of the nations largest Fire/EMS departments for HIPAA. I
advise several different ways. Non-transports require a treat and release
signature from a patient. A
copy of NPP can be printed on the back or separately, but they should make a
"reasonable attempt" to provide the NPP. What you don't say is how
they are activated. If they are activated via 911, this is an emergency
response, not requiring an NPP as the call is emergency, not routine, in
nature. I
also advise departments that do the billing to include the NPP in the billing
statement, just like the Credit Card companies do. Hope
that helps. Chris Brancato -----Original
Message----- 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
our management of EMS in several counties. While most of the patients involved end up at
FirstHealth facilities (where they would receive a copy of the NPP once their
condition allowed), a significant minority are transported to other hospitals.
On first look my response is that the receiving facility would be responsible
for providing the patient with a copy of their NPP. But is that the case?
I would like the group's comments, opinions and citations re: the whole
ems issue. I am also looking
forward to OCR's clarifications on these issues. Donald L. Ribelin HIPAA Project
