What is the name of your state? Florida
I work for a large pharmacy drug chain. I used to be a store manager from one store located in Miami, Fl. I learned yesterday -03/17/05- that the manager who replaced me on that location, disclosed to one of that location's employees (a former employees of mine), that I was seen a psychiatrist and taking mental medications. Indeed, I am under medical treatment for anxiety and depression. But I have never talk or share any of this with this store manager nor giving him permission to talk about this to any one.
The ONLY PERSON who I talked about my treatment, was to my boss (District Manager).
I fill my prescriptions at this drug chain.
Was Hipaa and my privacy rights violated???
