As a HIPAA expert, I can confidently say that C is the false statement. Covered entities can't force patients to waive their rights - that's like asking them to sign away their first-born child.
Wait, are we supposed to be looking for the most absurd answer? Because if so, my money's on E. Three years to update policies? That's like asking a sloth to run a marathon.
A) A covered entity must mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that it becomes aware of from the use or disclosure of PHI in violation of its policies and procedures or HIPAA regulations.
C) A covered entity may not require individuals to waive their rights as a condition for treatment, payment, enrollment in a health plan, or eligibility for benefits.
A) A covered entity must mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that it becomes aware of from the use or disclosure of PHI in violation of its policies and procedures or HIPAA regulations.
Hmm, this is a tricky one. The HIPAA privacy rule is all about protecting patient data, so I'm pretty sure D is the false statement. Six years is way too long to keep those records!
C) A covered entity may not require individuals to waive their rights as a condition for treatment, payment, enrollment in a health plan, or eligibility for benefits.
A) A covered entity must mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that it becomes aware of from the use or disclosure of PHI in violation of its policies and procedures or HIPAA regulations.
I think the correct answer is E. The HIPAA regulations require covered entities to update their policies and procedures within 3 years of changes in the law, not 6 years as stated in option D.
