Warranty By Product Table
Use of Patient Measurements
The Privacy Rule protects all "individually identifiable health information" held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information "protected health information (PHI)." Therefore, if a patient changes his/her medical supply provider and requires a new custom-made compression garment, they are allowed to request a release of their measurements for use at a different facility if necessary. If the patient has current measurements prior to changing facilities, BSN medical Inc. will process the order at the discretion of the new fitter. Any custom-made garment ordered, using the measurements of a prior fitter, cannot be guaranteed for fit. If this compression garment does not fit, the new fitter must re-measure and order a new garment for his/her patient. It is the suggestion of BSN medical Inc. that all patients be re-measured subsequent to changing medical supply providers.
