why not is she entitled to get a copy of the death summary? - correct answer

transpired last month. She fills out an authorization form and shows you a

same name, but the handwriting does not match. Why or why not would you
release the records to the patient? - correct answer ✔The information should
not be released since this may be a case of identity theft. The appropriate
departments should be informed, and a red flag should be placed on the file.

circumstances. With there being identity theft involved, the records may not be
those of the person that signed the authorization form. It would be best to
obtain a court order before releasing the medical records.

requesting a copy of his medical records where he was seen for a sexually
transmitted disease in which he signed for his own care. Why or why not is

this took place in, the minor would also have to sign the authorization form for

sensitive information such as sexually transmitted diseases, some states
allow minors aged 12 and older to authorize the release of records; other
states start at age 13 or 14.
