What does HIPAA say about telephoning patient information?
You should have policies and procedures in place that can reasonably establish the identity of the person to whom you disclose the information. That may involve establishing procedures to verify identity similar to those used by financial institutions when talking to customers over the phone, such as verification of Social Security number, address, ZIP code, mother’s maiden name, or pre-assigned code words.
