Posted by Amy on 4/16/05
i went to the doctor today for a drug test through my employer and i was there for about 2 hours. after being back at work for 10 min. the receptionist came back to my office with papers in her hand and said you have alot of things wrong with you uhh?? i really didn't know what she was talking about at first until she handed me the papers and realized it was a fax of my medical history from the doctors office i had just came from??? in which it stated my social and my health problems and my parents???? i was not informed nor have i ever had any doctors office fax personal information like that. and it wasn't the results because they had to be mailed out to the lab it was just my medical info??? isn't this a hippa violation???? also no where on the papers i signed said they would be faxing my medical info....
