Question

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 information that can identify an individual. Geographical identifiers like state and country are part of PHI as they can help identify a patient. PHI includes various forms of data (electronic, written, spoken) related to a patient's health, payment, etc. PHI also includes financial account numbers related to healthcare payments. However, PHI is specifically about health - related information that can identify an individual, not all information that a healthcare organization (CHA) collects, stores, transmits or receives about a patient. For example, a CHA might collect general administrative information that is not related to a patient's health or identity, and that would not be PHI.

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.
