Whether  it's  a  HUGE  City,  like  New York,

or  a  tiny  hamlet  in  New York,

or  ANYWHERE  in  the  USA
,

the 
HEALTH  INSURANCE  PORTABILITY  and  ACCOUNTABILITY  ACT

better known as

HIPAA

has a 

PRIVACY  ACT


that  defines  policies,  procedures  and  guidelines  for 
maintaining  the 

PRIVACY
 

and
 

SECURITY


of  individually  identifiable  health  information
for  the living

AS  WELL  AS  THE  DECEASED !!!

Deceased  individuals  have  the  SAME  rights  as  the  living 
for 

FIFTY  YEARS
 

after their demise.


But  WHAT  can  be  done  when  that  privacy  has 
not  only  been  violated
but  also  slandered
in  a  small  town  where  gossip
is  as  common  as  SNOW  ?

If  one  is  living  in  that  tiny  town,
would  it be  wise  or  SAFE  to  report  the  violators

. . .  OR
  . . .

would  it  be  best  to  remind  individuals  working  as
Health  Care  Providers  and  Assistants
that  these  violations  are

EXTREMELY  PAINFUL

to  remaining  Family  Members
but  also

SERIOUSLY 
PUNISHABLE


by  damages  up  to  a  cost  of

$  250,000.-
 

PLUS  YEARS  OF

JAIL  TIME  !!!

It happened to me that an office clerk in a small med center in my small town told people y son died from an overdose when really he died from asthma. this spread around town like wildfire and got back to me in a matter of days and made me hopping mad. I never reported her because I was afraid of retribution from her inbred family members. One day she'll screw up with someone who will nail her. In the meantime, many people in my small town look at me differently, except my close friends who know the truth.

That's a very sad situation, Patty. I can understand why you would be angry and hurt. "Hear~Say" can be very damaging...that's why this Law has been put into place. May you find comfort in knowing the truth.
