What do I do if my doctor gave medical information of mine to a relative who is also a patient of hers?
My doctor gave personal medical information of mine to a relative who is also a patient of hers.
Is this a HIPAA violation? What action can I take? I have had some problems with them before but always kept my mouth shut. This was very personal info this doctor (or, actually, a PA as it turns out) regarding a drug screen. I was able to explain why drugs not prescribed by her were in my system, they were given to me by a doctor I was seeing as a GP when I lived in another state a year ago, and even offered to have him contact her office. She then decides to discuss the results with my grandmother about what prescription drugs I may or may not be taking. There is no telling who else may know. I have dont absolutely nothing wrong and things are awkward with my family now. By the way, I am not a minor, I am 25, and live on my own.
What do I do?
That sounds like a HIPAA violation to me. according to the AMA something like that could be a fine of anywhere from 1k to 50k dollars.
The Dept of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights is who is in charge of HIPAA violations so that is who you would call.
