Medical Hipaa Violations
medical hipaa violations
when a family member works in the same clinic i go to and tell everyone my business that’s HIPAA violation?
My mom is a medical assistant and i had to go in for treatment of my lupus but at the time i did not want noone to know i had lupus, and she told everyone. Isnt that violation of HIPAA even though we are family. She happened to look in my chart and saw it there and told everyone, now ppl are feeling sorry for me. I wanted to tell on my own time.
Yes it is. HIPPA violations are serious and your mother should know that. Whatever is in your medical record is for you and your doctor to know. Anyone else is on a need to know basis. She had no right to look at your chart unless she was participating in your care. Even then she has no right to tell anyone what she saw in your chart. You can report the violation to the doctor’s office or to the Dept of Health for your state. Every state has a phone number you can call to complain about incidents just like this.
