Question

went into e.r. for pains and am under step mother's insurance. i live in a different state and oam 24 years old. all of my medical bill and full personal medical information from that e.r. visit was sent to step mother instead of me. while in the hospital it was designated that i would be the one responsible for all of it and all the information was taken about me. Does this scenerio constitute as HIPPA violation?



Answer

Perhaps but there is no private right of action for a HIPPA violation, you can report it to the appropriate agency.
