Q: I work at a marketing company, and we are trying to figure out what exactly we can put on a postcard. What is required, per HIPAA regulations, to be fully compliant if we were to do things like dental patient reminders? We would have patient information from the offices. How would we need to handle that information? What are we allowed to include in our designs?
Q: How does the Supplemental Medical Review Contractor determine which reviews to perform? Does SMRC work for CMS or our Medicare Administrative Contractor?
Q: If a patient accidentally puts the paperwork in the trash or on the table, and the information on the paperwork is visible to other patients or family members, is it a HIPAA violation?
