”Being too helpful with patients’ confidential information could be a HIPAA violation. When an attorney calls your agency and demands that you turn over one of your patient’s medical records for use in a court case, how quick are you to respond? If he follows up the call with a faxed order for the information”, do you send it over immediately?
Slow down: Before you provide any information, you must ensure that the attorney has authorization from the patient to release the personal health information (PHI), or has other legal documentation proving that you can send the information."
