Post: Hippa

Posted by Katrina on 10/08/07
I was accused of breaking a hippa law, what can I do to prove that I was wrongfully accused? It was said that: I told patient#1 that (patient#2 was taking a prescription for (blank) and that if she wanted to try (blank) that she should ask her friend patient#2 if she could have some of (blank) to try.) This is not true at no time did I every tell patient#1 that her friend was takeing this rx, her friend actualy told her that she was taking the rx months before. patient#1 and I did have a conversation about this drug and she did ask me if her friend was taking the drug? I droped the conversation and did not confirm her question. patient#1 did go to patient#2 because she wanted to try the (blank). patient#2 told her that she hardly had any left because her sisters had used some. patient#1 then said maybe I should just go this Dr. and ask for some? Patient#2 said she could no longer get them from the dr, why do you think she would give them to you? patient#1 then said; you are right my friend (me) can't even get a rx for them. from this conversation patient#2 assummed that I told patient#1 that she had filled a rx for this(blank)and went to her Dr and told her this story. The Dr. then accussed me of this and now I have lost my job.
