Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

What are time limits for access to records under HIPAA?

1. 15 days without extension

2. 21 days maximum

3. 30 days with a possible 30 day extension

4. 60 days maximum

The correct answer is: 30 days with a possible 30 day extension

Each of the other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time limits for accessing records under HIPAA. Option A states that there is a 15-day time limit without extension, which is not true as there is a potential for a 30-day extension. Option B states a maximum of 21 days, which is incorrect as there is a possibility for a total of 60 days with an extension. Option D also mentions a 60-day maximum, which is incorrect as the maximum is actually a total of 60 days with a potential 30-day extension. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as it accurately reflects the time limits for accessing records under HIPAA as 30 days with a possible 30-day extension. It is important to note that these time limits may vary based on certain circumstances and should be followed closely to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
