Hey, at least the options don't include 'All of the above' or 'None of the above'. Those always drive me crazy!

D? Really? Why would the lab need to get authorization from the doctor? That doesn't make any sense.

C seems like the safest option to me. It's always better to get a specific authorization from the patient just to be on the safe side.

I think B is the correct answer. The lab is covered under the doctor's Notice of Privacy Practices, so they don't need to do anything else.

But what if the lab already has a signed Notice from the patient? Wouldn't that be enough?

I agree with Adrianna. It's important to get the patient's authorization before disclosing their PHI.
