Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Which law does not require the documentation of patient counseling in Washington?

1. HIPAA

2. WAC 246-875-030

3. WAC 246-869-220

4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal law that protects the privacy and security of patients' health information, but it does not specifically address the documentation of patient counseling in Washington. WAC 246-875-030 is a Washington Administrative Code that requires pharmacists to document counseling for patients receiving new prescriptions, but it does not apply to all types of patient counseling. WAC 246-869-220 is also a Washington Administrative Code that requires documentation for counseling provided by health care providers, but this applies specifically to Medicaid patients and does not cover all types of counseling. Therefore, none of the options A, B, or C require the documentation of patient counseling in Washington.
