Verification Requirements Standard: Verification Except for permitted uses where the individual has an opportunity to object: Verify identity of person requesting PHI and authority to have access Obtain documentation (oral or written) if disclosure conditioned on representations § (h)

Who is a Personal Representative? Standard: Personal Representatives Treat personal representative as the individual for purposes of disclosure of PHI Executor, Administrator authorized by law to act on behalf of individual’s estate § (f) & (g)

Permitted Disclosures Law enforcement official to alert if death due to criminal conduct § (f)(4) Coroners/medical examiners for identification, cause of death, other duties § (g)(1) Funeral directors as necessary to carry out their duties § (g)(2) Organ/tissue donation procurement agencies § (h) Research on decedent’s information § (i)

Research Requirements IRB/Privacy Board approval of waiver of authorization Must confirm that: Disclosure sought solely for research on protected PHI of decedent; Documentation of death; and PHI sought is necessary for the research purposes § (h)(iii)

Waiver Requirements Documentation of approval must include: § (h) Identification and date of action Waiver criteria approved by IRB/Privacy Board No more than minimal risk Waiver will not adversely effect privacy rights Research cannot be practicably conducted without this waiver Privacy risks reasonable in light of reasonably expected results of research
