Allison is required to have a physical before starting her job as a nurse. Her employer pays for the physical. The employer should:
A. keep the physical exam records in Allison's personnel records
B. keep the physical exam records in a separate file from general personnel records
C. review the physical exam records and destroy them
D. review the physical exam records and return them to the provider
E. review the physical exam records and return them to Allison
B. keep the physical exam records in a separate file from general personnel records
An employer should never keep employees' medical records in the general personnel records. This avoids a potential HIPAA violation. The record technically belongs to the physician, but the record sent would not be an original, as the physician must keep the record. If Allison would like a copy, she should contact the physician.
