civil action suit for collection may have possible violation of HIPAA rule
What is the name of your state?VA
dental office had terrible recordkeeping and was patient for 7 years. in july 2004, dentist handed bill for $3500 due, although never had balance since 2003. am being sued for balance. i provided my grounds of defense prior to court date. dentist and representing lawyer neglected to provide bill of particulars and judge requested this be provided to allow sufficient time and energy on my behalf to validate or question. bottom line, judge asked lawyer if he wanted to send to me at later date the ledger and the explanation of benefits associated with account. the lawyer asked the circuit court clerk to copy and give to me before leaving. i got home and found that the ledger and eobs included other patient information like their provider number from the insurance companies, their employers, as well as their social seucrity numbers. before i go any further, do i have a right to confront the lawyer and provide circuit court with complaint regarding hippa violation?
