What is the name of your state? OHIO
My employer personally contacted several members of my doctor's office including an administrator to request a copy of my doctors release to return to work. Is this an infringement on HIPPA laws? Or any other law?
I had previously spoken to the Doctor himself and asked him if he was aware of the employer contacting anyone and he explained to me that he was not aware of this and that if they did, anyone in his office would not be allowed to give them any information because it would be a breech of patient confidentiality. Since this was obviously done without his knowledge, do I have cause for action and if so, where do I start?
