Which of the following are considered Protected Health Information (PHI)?

Protected Health Information (PHI) includes any information that relates to an individual's health condition, the provision of healthcare, or payment for healthcare that can be used to identify the individual. The correct answer highlights one of the key elements of PHI.

The date of visit is considered PHI because it is directly associated with a patient’s healthcare services and can help identify individuals in conjunction with their medical history or other identifiers. This information could potentially be used to track a patient's health history and the timeline of their treatment, which is crucial for healthcare providers managing patient care.

While other options might seem relevant to an individual's health and demographics, they may not meet the specific criteria for PHI, particularly when viewed in isolation. For example, while medical history can be PHI, the way the question is framed may lead to confusion over more contextual details necessary for classification. Gender and occupational status might not inherently relate to the provision of healthcare unless accompanied by additional identifiers or in a healthcare-specific context.
