During warmer months, heat from warm air is transferred to the heat exchanger and into the fluid. As it moves through the pipes, the heat is dispersed to the rocks, soil, and groundwater. The pump is reversed during the colder months. Heat energy stored in the relatively warm ground raises the temperature of the fluid. The fluid then transfers this energy to the heat pump, which warms the air inside the building.
While individual states generally govern how long medical records are to be retained â HIPAA. rules require a Medicare Fee-For-Service provider to retain required documentation for six. years from the date of its creation or the date when it last was in effect, whichever is later.
Fulfilling record requests can take time, so plan ahead and donât expect to receive your records the day you request them. In fact, HIPAA allows providers 30 days to complete a record request. It also allows a single 30-day extension, but the facility must explain to the requestor the cause of the delay. Most facilities, however, do not require that much timeâmany can fulfill a request in five to 10 days. Individual state laws may also dictate how quickly a facility must fulfill a request. Fulfilling requests takes time because facilities receive many of them and processing them requires individual review.
