What is the name of your state? Texas
I work in a family clinic. My husband's exwife is a patient at the same cilnic. At her last doctor appointment she told my boss that I have been violating her Hipaa rights. This is untrue. I don't even have access to her medical records. I work in the finance department.
My boss has told me that I cannot talk to my husband about this because it would violate her hipaa rights.
Is this true. Since I would not be talking to him about her medical condition. How could I be violating her rights. I feel I should be able to tell him what she has done.
If my employer had believed her I could have been fired. This is not the first time nor do I feel it will be the last time she tries this.
Is this not defamation of character and isn't she the one that is violating my rights?
