Question

for individuals requesting to amend their medical record ____. the replaced portion of the record is destroyed. the provider has the option to reject the amendment. there is a new file made just for the amendment. it is not possible without a court order. question 2 (2.5 points) what specific government agency receives complaints about the hipaa privacy ruling? centers for medicare and medicaid services department of health and human services department of justice office for civil rights

Explanation:

For the first question, under HIPAA regulations, when an individual requests to amend a medical record, the provider can reject the amendment if certain criteria (like lack of proper documentation) are not met. The replaced portion isn't destroyed (it's maintained in an audit - like trail), there isn't a new file made just for the amendment (the original record is updated with an indication of the amendment), and it's not always court - order - dependent.
For the second question, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the specific agency that receives complaints about HIPAA Privacy rule violations. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mainly deals with Medicare and Medicaid program operations, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) has a broader role in law enforcement but not the direct receipt of HIPAA Privacy - specific complaints.

Answer:

1. the provider has the option to reject the amendment.
2. Office for Civil Rights
