riiiggght......
or in the case of a minor..... a signed ROI by the parent/legal guardian.
so.... why did the hospital refuse to release the record to her parents?
They wouldn't (if the parents have custody and are her legal guardians), so the most logical thing to believe is that they didn't refuse.
Methinks they need a good lawyer.....
I don’t know that, all I can tell you is I’m HIPAA compliant since I work IT for a medical service provider. A signed ROI is all that’s needed unless I’d speculate a court order is preventing the release?
