I totally agree. I hate the fact nearly every bit of information digitized (health care records, purchasing transactions, etc.) is packaged, shared, and sold to a multitude of agencies, then on to more and more from there.
They say this is done for research, marketing, statistics, health care epidemics, take your pick. It is a goldmine as a commodity and worth even more to anyone who would want to use it against anyone.
And again, as a big fan of FR, I would like to personally and sincerely say a big Thank you for your contribution support of FR.
“The default is we don’t release ANY information to anyone but providers and insurance.”
And guess who is selling the data!
“I don’t know who taught you about HIPPA, “
Well, then point out the error in my post!
There is a medical records company in Alpharetta,GA who handles medical records,like mine, much to my surprise.
I forget the name of the company but to say that I was upset would be an understatement.

Hi and thanks for your matching donation. In all truth, I was looking for good advice and only wanted to motivate the really smart people that occupy this space.
As you may suspect, I am pissed that perhaps my medical info was sold, but as pointed out that may not be the case. I could have been picked by my age, neighborhood, or financial district. I have no idea, but it bothers me that when I did go for a nerve inspection, they sent me a personalized invite.
I suspect B-s somewhere, but I am not sure I can find the root.
I love the place FR and will always find a way to contribute.
Go to the thing and ask them.
Thank you all for all your well intentioned advise. I have not decided exactly what I am going to do, but some of your suggestions have been helpful.
For privacy matters I may not be able to tell what I have done, but to the extent that I can, I will.
Let’s keep Fr going and contribute, for this is a great site and very helpful I may note.

Hay anton, bonehead.
I have not mislead in any way. I thanked all for their advice and sent $250 to FR So put up or shutup. I will pay Fr $100 more if you apologize and pay $100 to Fr.
_your statement either way”stfruagtfo” is way over the top.
Now lets see how tough you are
It is you that owes FR an apology. None will be coming from me. I stand by my comments and my intended insult to you.
However, at 1:48AM EST, I made a $100 contribution to FR which you can confirm with JR if you need to do so (my Paypal payment included a note to the effect that you might confirm with my permission, so you must now pay the $100 matching payment you promised, your apology demand fullilled by the following:
learner, I apologize for abbreviating my insult to you as an acronym. I wish I had said it in complete words..
I actually work in the healthcare field........
Nice try
Put up the money deadbeat.
Where’s your money, deadbeat - trying to stiff FR? You owe $100 now pay up or GTFO.
