Subject: RE: Filing deadline for
complaints
Diane,
If you limit your complaint acceptance period to
30 days, the only other
recourse the person would have is to file a
complaint with the Secretary if
the occurance is more than 30 days
old. For my agency, I had rather our
patients come to us with a
complaint rather than the Secretary of DHHS, so I
am leaving the door open
to accepting complaints.

Subject: Filing
deadline for complaints
Regarding complaints filed with the
Secretary of DHHS, the Privacy Rule
states in 160.306 (b)(3) that a
complaint must be filed within 180 days of
when the complainant knew or
should have known.....
Can a covered entity specify a shorter time
frame for an individual filing a
complaint with the covered entity - such
as - within 30 days?
