What should I do if during the course of performing my job (treatment, billing or other activities), I come in contact with PHI of a patient I know?In the very rare circumstance when an employee’s job requires him/her to access and/or copy the medical information of a family member, a co-worker, or other personally known individual, then he/she should immediately report the situation to his/her supervisor who will determine whether to assign a different employee to complete the task involving the specific patient. | |
