You are working for Dr. Michael and you are in charge of the A/R Department. You come across an account for Mary Smith who is a friend of yours. She has recently moved but did not forward her new address to Dr. Michael's office.


What would be the process to update Mary's account?
What can happen if you change the patient's address in the system without her permission?
What obligation do you have to Dr. Michael's office to provide information on your friend?

Think HIPAA.

Thank you.

Homework? We don't do homework.

No actually it is a question for my class discussion and I was wondering if there was somehting someone could tell me that I'm leaving out of my paper. I'm in a time crunch so I just copy and pasted the question. But no need for you to feel like your doing anythign for me I can do it all on my own. I've gotten this far.
