FMLA? and sue the doctors office for breach of confidientaility? if anyone knows of a law firm in Nashville, TN that can help?
The faxed letter disclosing your mother’s diagnosis without her permission was indeed a HIPAA violation. And if the fax number was one used by more that the person to whom it was sent, the violation is worse. It the faxed letter came from a doctor’s office, it probably wasn’t a nurse who did this, it would have been a medical assistant who can be named in a lawsuit if your mother so wishes to pursue this. Interferon isn’t experimental and has been around since before 1980.
Contact your local bar association and see if they can steer you in the direction of a firm that handles this kind of case. Your mother needs to sit down and document everything from the moment she got her diagnosis to the present – what happened, what was said and by whom, dates & times. If she has any written documentation and medical records, that would be great. Below is a link to law firms in Nashville.
