Why does the thank
you note have to identify the patient who was referred? Seems to me if the
thank you note said "Our office thanks you for referring a friend to our
office," that accomplishes the same purpose, and does not release
PHI.
I had an eye doctor
once who was referred to me by my aunt. I was apparently not the first
person she referred, and he ended up giving her a discount on her next visit for
all the business. But I do not think it would have been necessary for him
to tell her "Rachel stated she was referred by you; that's the fourth referral
you made, here's a 10% discount," but could say "Thank you for the four
referrals. To show our appreciation, we are offering you a 10% discount on
you next visit."
