What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am in college and utilize the campus health center. i am outraged because every time i go in to be seen the rude secretary asks me what i am being seen for and what my symptoms are. this is in a crowded waiting room that she badgers me for answers. at times, i do not want to share why i am being seen and i feel like this is a violation of my privacy. are there any hipaa laws that she is breaking? last time I was in there, there was a girl needing to see the psychologist and the secretary told her she wouldnt be seen if she didnt tell her why so the poor girl had to admit she was suicidal with a room full of people.
