This right also applies to all treatment given in the dental office.

d.patients have to sign a specific authorization before a covered entity can release their medical information to a life insurer, a bank, a marketing firm, or another outside business for purposes not related to their healthcare.
ANS: C
Portability provides for a continuation of insurance when an individual changes jobs. Electronic transactions and code sets are one of the four sets of HIPAA standards covered in the accountability portion of the HIPAA regulations. Protected health informatio n is covered under Federal Privacy Rules.
