Possible HIPAA Violation and Army

[Ezz17]

Im going to make it fast and quick. I am currently on profile and have been for a few months following a fractured wrist and complications the Army has me as a 3 on U of the PULHES. My orthopedic specialist and therapist put my profile together limiting what I can and can't do. Today my PLT SGT and Team leader told me that I would have to jump next Airborne jump, however I have trouble with my grip right now. My team leader then went to the PA who I haven't seen in months and wasn't aware of my condition at all, and has never seen my x-rays or mri's. They modified my profile without me being there, so my profile allows me to jump. As well as telling my Team Leader what his inaccurate diagnosis was. Is this a HIPAA Violation and what is my recourse?

First off it's HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Read up on it here for information as to whether or not there has been a violation. http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/index.html

Second, you enlisted. In doing so, you gave the military 100% control over virtually every aspect of your life.

You have no recourse.

And even if that were not the case, no, this is not a HIPAA violation.
