[QUOTE="slsh, post: 266941, member: 8"] Every agency that handles protected heallth information has a HIPAA compliance officer. This guy released information that he had absolutely no business releasing, for *any* reason (i.e. - just the fact that he's Dude's case manager - that would be like a dr. showing up at work and saying "Hi ,I'm Star's oncologist"). I would get compliance officer's name and file a complaint. If that doesn't work, I think the Fed DOJ handles violations. I would file, Star. This was just so completely over the top illegal. HIPAA doesn't say don't release protected health information except... It says don't release it, period. If you do, you're looking at major fines and potential prison time. [/QUOTE]
