What is the minimum time that patient records must be kept by a Physical Therapist?

  1. 5 years

  2. 7 years

  3. 10 years

  4. 1 year after a minor reaches 18 years of age

The correct answer is: 7 years

Patient records must be kept for a minimum of 7 years by a Physical Therapist. This is according to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements and applies to all healthcare providers. Option A is incorrect because 5 years is less than the minimum time required by HIPAA. Option C is incorrect because 10 years is more than the minimum time required. Option D is incorrect because it only applies to minors, while HIPAA's requirements apply to all patients regardless of age.
