Audit Inquiry

Has the covered entity required individuals to waive their right to complain to the Secretary of HHS about a covered entity or business associate not complying with these Rules, as a condition of the provision of treatment, payment, enrollment in a health plan, or eligibility for benefits?

Obtain and review policies and procedures and patient/health plan member intake information to ensure that waiver is not required.
