E is incorrect. The privacy rule requires a covered entity to limit the disclosure to the minimum necessary, not deny it entirely.

D is just ridiculous. The minimum necessary standard doesn't require covered entities to go that far with their facility redesign.

B is also true, but it's not the complete answer. The privacy rule does prohibit the use, disclosure, or request of an entire medical record.

A is the correct answer. The HIPAA regulations allow covered entities to rely on the judgment of the requesting party in some cases, as long as the minimum amount of information necessary is disclosed.
