Post: HIPAA VIOLATION

Posted by V. PHILLIPS on 6/23/11
I was acquiring an hardship from my 401k to pay a medical bill, that was due. I brought in proper documentation , from the DOS, and the amount due. The bill is from my son. I gave two documents providing what the DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, requested, then he asked me to call the hospital to verify with billing, that the amount was due, and I did over speaker phone, he signed my hardship papers, and told me I would know something soon,my 401k was approved for withdrawal, on the same day. The very next day, I come to work, and on ny desk was a Tricare insurance printout with my sons information exposed. My co worker, found the document on the printer/fax machine. I called tricare and the hospital the billed was owed, and no one called and requested anything, and stated. If was against the law to fax any medical information. I work for s large urologist firm, and I know someone here accessed my sons information, he's not s patient! I reported this to HR, SHE stated it wad illegal to do, I would have to this up with the operate manager, I filled out the HIPAA VIOLATION form. Can my company access my family records with being a patient. Please help, upset, and violated. Thanks
