Would Results of an eye exam taken at the DMV as part of a driving test consider phi?
Yes, the results of an eye exam taken at the DMV as part of a driving test would be considered protected health information (PHI). This is because the eye exam results pertain to an individual's health status and are used to determine their fitness to drive. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such information is protected when it is maintained by a covered entity, like a healthcare provider, even if it's collected in a non-traditional healthcare setting like a DMV.
What is a Breach as defined by HIPPA?
Breach means the acquisition, access use, or disclosure of protected health information in a manner not permitted under subpart E of this part which compromises the security or privacy of the protected health information.(1) Breach excludes:(i) Any unintentional acquisition, access, or use of protected health information by a workforce member or person acting under the authority of a covered entity or a business associate, if such acquisition, access, or use was made in good faith and within the scope of authority and does not result in further use or disclosure in a manner not permitted under subpart E of this part.(ii) Any inadvertent disclosure by a person who is authorized to access protected health information at a covered entity or business associate to another person authorized to access protected health information at the same covered entity or business associate, or organized health care arrangement in which the covered entity participates, and the information received as a result of such disclosure is not further used or disclosed in a manner not permitted under subpart E of this part.(iii) A disclosure of protected health information where a covered entity or business associate has a good faith belief that an unauthorized person to whom the disclosure was made would not reasonably have been able to retain such information.Source: HIPAA Administrative Simplification Regulation Text - March 2013
