Multiple Choice

Which item is NOT PHI?

PHI covers information that identifies a patient and relates to their health care or payment for care. A Hospital Policy Document is not about a specific patient and doesn’t contain individual health information, so it isn’t PHI. The other items involve patient-specific data: a patient’s name with an admission date identifies the person and ties to a health care event, billing information is linked to an individual's care, and test results are health data about a patient. These are all PHI because they combine identifying details with health care or payment information.
