In addition, if there's no damage done you aren't likely to
have a case which would result in anything other than an
administrative reprimand. Also, you need to read the fine
print in any "Consent to Treat" form you may have signed.
Many outline numerous exemptions to the HIPPA law, and often
one of those exemptions is "When deemed in the best interest
of the patient" which pretty much gives free reign on
sharing information.

So if you're looking for a big payday, a HIPPA case doesn't
likely fit the bill.
