I received a call from a person who lives in the same town
as me. She had received my x-rays from an orthopedic
office the her son went to. Somehow they mailed my x-rays
to her son who is a 15 year old boy. I am a 53 year old
woman and I didn't request that my x-rays be mailed, and
our names are not aphebetically even close. But somehow
they mailed them to a person I didn't know. I just got
lucky that the person knew my name because I am active in
the community and called me. I wonder if this is a HIPAA
violation. I know I am not happy that my x-rays were sent
to a stranger. What should I do?
