What right do patients have regarding their PHI as stated in the NOPP?

Patients have the right to access and obtain copies of their protected health information (PHI), which is a fundamental aspect of the privacy and security regulations established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This right enables patients to request their medical records and inspect their information, ensuring that they can verify the accuracy of their data and understand how it is being used. By granting this access, patients are allowed to take control over their health information, promoting transparency and empowering individuals in managing their health care. This right is a cornerstone of patient autonomy and privacy protection in the healthcare system.

The other options do not reflect accurate rights under the NOPP: patients cannot sell their PHI, they do not have the right to delete health records maintained by providers, and while patients can request restrictions on the sharing of their PHI, such restrictions are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and provider policies.
