Florida Pharmacy Technician Certification Practice Test

What rights does the Notice of Privacy Practices inform patients about?

1. The store hours

2. What rights they have

3. How the pharmacy uses and discloses PHI

4. Who to contact with HIPAA questions

The correct answer is: What rights they have

The Notice of Privacy Practices is a crucial document that informs patients about their rights concerning their protected health information (PHI). This notice outlines various rights patients possess under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as the right to access their health records, request amendments, and receive an accounting of disclosures. By understanding these rights, patients can better manage their personal health information and ensure that it is protected appropriately. While the other options touch on relevant topics—such as operational details of the pharmacy or methods of information disclosure—they do not capture the primary function of the Notice of Privacy Practices, which is to specifically inform patients about their rights related to their health information.
