Post: Hippa

Posted by Rhonda on 8/17/07
I was recently helping my daughter pack up some belongings of her soon to be ex-husband. Along with his personal things was a file pertaining to a Medicare Appeal. He used to bring home files from his previous employer where he was a paramedic. This file contains medical information as well as SS# and DOB. When I called the Department of Human Services in Austin,Tx, they suggested that the file be returned to his old company,which is no longer in business. I called the Medicare office that was handling the complaint and someone there suggested I shred the documents even though she acknowledged that he was not supposed to bring them home. Does anyone really care about Hippa?
