It is critical that you get the right version of this test. The serum phospholipid test is better than the red cell phospholipid test because the serum phospholipid version is a 14 day average of the amount of fish oil in your blood. The red cell phospholipid is a longer 90 to 120 day average.
Protected health information. Protected health information (PHI) under US law is any information about health status, provision of health care, or payment for health care that is created or collected by a Covered Entity (or a Business Associate of a Covered Entity), and can be linked to a specific individual.
The final rule changes this definition by stating that, unless an exception applies, an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI is presumed to be a breach, unless the HIPAA-covered entity can demonstrate there is a low probability that the PHI has been compromised based upon, at minimum, a four-part risk assessment.he Privacy Rule requires that covered entities apply reasonable safeguards to all PHI. Thus, even PHI that was protected in accordance with the Privacy and Security Rules, such as by use of firewalls, but was breached under the terms of the new Breach Notification Rule, would have to be reported.
