Free Michigan HIPAA Practice Test Online

Correct answer: A. As promptly as required under the circumstances, but not later than 30 days after receipt of the request

Correct: this is the exact statutory standard for on-site records under the Medical Records Access Act.

• B: Michigan's Act does not use a 10-business-day standard, and does not forbid the longer off-site timeline.
• C: 60 days is the timeline that applies only when the record is not maintained or accessible on-site, not the default.
• D: The Act does not create separate 15-day/5-day tracks by record format.

Correct answer: A. A psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, or professional counselor who provides only mental health services

Correct: mental-health-only practitioners are carved out of this Act's coverage and fall under the Mental Health Code instead.

• B: Hospital medical records fall squarely within the Act's coverage.
• C: Physical therapists are licensed under article 15 of the Public Health Code and are covered by the Act.
• D: Dentists are licensed health professionals covered by the Act.

Correct answer: C. A provider may charge an initial fee to an authorized representative, but shall not charge a patient an initial fee for their own medical record

Correct: this reflects the Act's specific carve-out barring an initial fee against the patient, distinct from the general initial-fee allowance.

• A: The initial fee is a separate, capped flat charge, not tied to the per-page rate.
• B: The Act does permit certain fees (per-page copying, actual costs for non-paper formats, postage) subject to caps and a waiver for medically indigent individuals.
• D: The 7-years-or-older threshold in the Act relates to recovering the actual cost of retrieving offsite/archived records, not to when an initial fee may be charged.

Correct answer: B. The provider must waive all fees for the medically indigent individual, limited to one set of copies per provider, facility, or medical records company

Correct: full fee waiver, capped at one free set of copies per source.

• A: The Act specifically overrides the standard fee schedule for verified medically indigent individuals.
• C: The Act does not describe a 50% reduction; it is a full waiver subject to the one-set limit.
• D: The waiver is for 'all fees,' not just the per-page copying charge.

Correct answer: D. Kept confidential and not open to public inspection, disclosable outside the record holder only under the circumstances and conditions the Code sets out

Correct: this is the Code's baseline confidentiality rule.

• A: The default is confidentiality, not public access with an opt-out.
• B: The confidentiality default applies to recipients generally, not only minors.
• C: There is no automatic employer-disclosure provision in the Code.
