Yes. The HIPAA regulations allow a covered entity to provide an individual with summary information rather than underlying file documents but only if the patient agrees in advance to receive such a summary. Note, however, an individual who earlier agrees to receive summary information does not relinquish the right to later request and obtain access to the underlying documents. Access to and copies of MICROTEST Q or Q Local Software or Profile and Interpretive Reports should be denied under such a later request.  more
