A patient requested her records in January 2023. She did not receive them until January 2025, two years and an OCR investigation later.
In this episode of Guess What? Compliance Can Be Simple!, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down a 2026 HIPAA settlement that grew out of something far more ordinary than a policy failure: a records request that was never tracked all the way through to completion. She walks through why the thirty day clock starts the moment a request is received, regardless of which inbox it lands in, and the seven things every practice needs in place so an access request can never quietly disappear between departments.
If you are not certain every employee in your practice would recognize an access request the moment they saw one, this episode is for you.

The Service Animal Your Front Desk Turned Away
A disabled veteran was turned away from a post hospitalization appointment because of a dog. The consequences were not theoretical.
In this episode of Guess What? Compliance Can Be Simple!, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down a 2026 Department of Justice settlement involving a Tampa area pain management clinic and a disabled veteran whose service animal was denied entry. She walks through what the ADA actually permits a front desk employee to ask, the limited and specific circumstances where a service animal can be excluded, and why a general no pets policy leaves your least prepared employee making a decision with real legal and human consequences.
If your front desk has never been given a clear answer for this exact scenario, this episode is for you.

The Patient Who Could Not Understand Their Own Care
Everyone followed the rule. The patient still could not explain their own treatment plan afterward.
In this episode of Guess What? Compliance Can Be Simple!, Dr. Natasha Guess examines a 2024 Department of Justice case involving a major healthcare system and the exclusion of support persons for patients with disabilities. She walks through why offering an accommodation is not the same thing as confirming it worked, what effective communication actually requires under the law, and the specific operational process every practice needs before, during, and after a patient encounter to catch this gap before a regulator does.
If your practice has ever relied on a policy to answer a question that only a person in the room could actually answer, this episode is for you.
