Releasing Records to Spouses
Under federal HIPAA rule 45 CFR 164.508, absolutely not! Being married does not grant legal access to an adult’s protected health information. Without a signed HIPAA authorization or healthcare power of attorney, releasing charts to a spouse is an illegal breach. Protect your license at MsdsSafety.com!
Divorced Parents & Minor Records
Under federal HIPAA rule 45 CFR 164.502, both parents are legal personal representatives of an unmarried minor. Unless you have a certified court order or legal termination of parental rights on file, an ex’s verbal demand cannot legally block access! Protect your practice at MsdsSafety.com.
Attorney Subpoenas & 45 CFR 164.512
Under federal HIPAA rule 45 CFR 164.512, an attorney’s subpoena alone does not permit disclosure! Unless accompanied by a judge’s signed court order or a signed patient authorization, releasing charts is an illegal HIPAA breach. Protect your license at MsdsSafety.com!
Patient Dismissal & Abandonment
For non-compliant patients, state dental boards require a formal 30-day notice with emergency coverage to prevent abandonment charges. But if a patient is hostile, belligerent, or threatens staff safety, you can dismiss them immediately on the spot—no 30 days required! Learn more at MsdsSafety.com.
Emergency Drug Kit Expirations
During dental board inspections, investigators routinely inspect epinephrine, nitroglycerin, and inhaler dates. Having expired emergency meds on hand is an automatic red flag and citation risk! Stay audit-proof at MsdsSafety.com.
