question 3 of 30
which of these statements about phi is not true?
○ phi includes all geographical identifiers, including state and country
● phi is all the information that cha collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient’s health, treatment or payment for services
○ phi includes all forms of data, including electronic, written and spoken
○ phi includes account numbers (including bank/financial/credit/debit card)

Explanation:

PHI (Protected Health Information) is related to health - related data. Geographic identifiers like state and country are part of PHI (e.g., for patient location in healthcare records). All forms of data (electronic, written, spoken) related to health, treatment, or payment for services are PHI. Account numbers (bank/financial/credit/debit card) can be related to payment for healthcare services and are PHI. The statement "PHI is all the information that CHA collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient’s health, treatment or payment for services" is too broad as PHI is specifically health - related information that can identify an individual, not just any information CHA collects about these aspects (CHA might collect non - identifying info too). But among the options, the one that is NOT true is the selected option? Wait, no, the question is which statement about PHI is NOT true. Wait, let's re - evaluate:

1. PHI includes geographical identifiers (state, country) – True, as location can identify a patient.
2. PHI includes all forms of data (electronic, written, spoken) – True, as PHI can be in any format.
3. PHI is all the information that CHA collects... – Not True, because PHI must be individually identifiable health information. CHA might collect information about health, treatment, or payment that doesn't identify the patient, which is not PHI.
4. PHI includes account numbers (bank/financial/credit/debit card) – True, as these can be related to payment for healthcare and can identify the patient.

But the selected option in the image is the third one. Wait, maybe the question is which is NOT true, and the third option is the one that is NOT true. Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the options:

• PHI includes all geographical identifiers, including state and country – True.
• PHI includes all forms of data, including electronic, written and spoken – True.
• PHI is all the information that CHA collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient’s health, treatment or payment for services – Not True (because PHI requires the information to be able to identify the patient; not all info about health, treatment, or payment is PHI if it can't identify).
• PHI includes account numbers (including bank/financial/credit/debit card) – True.

So the statement that is NOT true is "PHI is all the information that CHA collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient’s health, treatment or payment for services".

Answer:

The statement that is NOT true about PHI is: PHI is all the information that CHA collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient’s health, treatment or payment for services (the selected option in the image).
