Respuesta :
Yes, they should provide information.
Patients will be required to sign a paper acknowledging receipt of the notice of privacy practices by healthcare providers. Patients are not required by law to sign this. The act of signing, however, does not renounce a patient's HIPAA rights, nor does it indicate that the patient accepts the privacy policy.
Does this legal protection encompass digital records?
Yes. Both paper and digital records are accessible to patients. If the data is easily producible, a person may request information in a certain format, and the covered body must accede to the request. The covered entity and the person may agree on a different format if the data cannot be easily produced in the patient's requested format. They will generate a hard copy if they are unable to come to an agreement.
Even if a patient declines to sign, a health care provider may still use or disclose information in ways that are already allowed by HIPAA. If a patient declines to sign an acknowledgment of receiving a notice of privacy practices, a provider may not refuse to give treatment.

A payment policy is what?
The payment policy is the set of guidelines or standards that direct a client in paying their bills. It is the policy that has been established to ensure that there are no problems between the buyer and the vendor. The payment policy is written in such a way that it is completely clear to the consumer.
The NHS provides free medical care to the majority of UK citizens. The expense of receiving care from private healthcare providers is, however, covered by the private medical insurance that many consumers purchase.
