[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. Even if we assume the worst, that she knowingly  violated HIPAA (which I don’t assume) I still don’t see the actual harm to any of the patients violated, myself being one of them. [/quote]
This is not like signing up for the pottery barn website and getting all of their other catalogs.
Think about it this way -
You shared your personal information with a Drs practice so they can support you.  You disclose private information so that they can provide the best care.  
You share with the expectation that the drs are not selling the list to another company.   Well this is in essence what she did.  She knew when she was taking the information.  Drs are fully aware that they do not take this information when they leave a practice - it is not some nuanced thing.

OK.  I guess I don't care.  I don't feel harmed by someone (1) knowing that I went to the practice and/or (2) sending me emails from their new company.  Everyone who is talking about a class action suit needs to get a life.  Seriously. You will gain nothing and she may what...get a fine?  If that?[/quote]

You may not care about your personal information being shared unlawfully but clearly others do. Frankly, I'm surprised you don't care that your doctor is willfully choosing to disregard the law. [/quote]

1.  Doesn't sound like it is actually unlawful  - and even if it was, it effects you negatively not one one bit.  I hate to use the term, but thread sounds Karen-esque.  2.  She's not at the practice anymore so she is not anyone's doctor...so again, it feels like you want her punished just because...why exactly? What will you gain?  And if there is something you would gain, you need help.  Look within.  [/quote]

Way to go with the misogyny!  She was cavalier and careless with former patients’ and her former colleagues’ patients’ information and broke the law. I want to know my information is no longer in the hands of a company that had no right to it in the first place. I want to know what the practice is doing to prevent this from happening at the practice again. She should at the very least be fined and the occurrence recorded by the Medical Board in the state she is licensed. An apology would be nice, but I am not holding my breath.[/quote]
