Dear Annie:
“Kicked out by Doctor” recently wrote about her experience with staff at her doctor’s office, involving sharing of her private information. Your answer was good but incomplete. The letter implied that there may have been a violation of her HIPPA rights. She should visit HHS.gov and file a complaint! They will investigate and could possibly press charges. They take these things seriously.
Or, since all states have regulations about staff accessing and/or sharing a patient’s personal information, she can contact the state’s medical authorities lest this happen to another patient. — Know Your Rights
Dear Know Your Rights:
Thank you for this helpful information. I agree, legal action may be required to remedy this one.
