HIPAA Rights Violation?
a New Jersey hospital violated my HIPAA Rights. Yhey sent out my confidential information(hospital wing i was in and WHY I was being treated) to my employer(now ex-employer). What type of attorney can I speak to, civil rights? How do I find the Statute of Limitations for a HIPAA rights violation? Any info/feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Are you sure it was really a hippaa violation?
If the hospital stay had anything to do with an injury or incident that happened at work, your employer has every right to see your med records.
Also, with some gov jobs during application and interview you sign a release for your medical records. In which case, your employer has every right to request and see them.
Also, if you were applying for sick leave, leave of absence, or fmla, they have a right to see the med records.
Were any of these your situation?
If not and your hippaa rights really were violated, I believe there are attorneys that specialize in hippaa laws. You need to find one of those such lawyers and talk to them (check the phone book… if you cant find one call a lawyer dealing with med malpractice and ask them if they can talk to you or refer someone.. most lawyers give free consulations, too)
Also, the hippaa laws should be found somewhere around the American Medical Associations website. Or try a google search
