Does this violate Hipaa laws?
I’m going to India on very short notice, and I need to get going on all the shots. I need a history of all my immunizations, but cannot remember my childhood doctor (my mom died when I was 8 so this is why the name got lost in my family. That’s a long story short).
Anyway, I called my high school and found out they do have my medical records of all my immunizations. But in order to get them, they are making me pay a $20 processing fee.
I don’t have time to argue with them, and I don’t want to sound like an absolute snob about paying them the fee, but it was brought to my attention that requiring a fee for medical history such as this probably violates Hippa laws.
I was just wondering if this is true or not. Please only serious answers from people who know what they are talking about, or have valid references. Thank you!
Schools are not required to follow HIPAA. Only health plans, doctors, and health care clearinghouses are required to follow it. It’s more of a protection against your medical history from other people. Even if schools had to follow it, a processing fee is a nice legal scapegoat to charge money regardless.
