Worse than scary. I was at my Dr. Office this morning and they handed me a new hippa sheet. 2 pages double sided, decently spaced and decent font size, but ... smack dab in the middle where they were enumerating who they will provide your medical information to:
- A requesting Government Agency.
That’s it. No qualifiers or restrictions.
Yesterday I called my retiring dentist’s office to get my records. His nurse told me she was busy digitizing all their records. Had to be done by.. don’t remember the date but it was shortly.
All medical and dental records digital by order of the king.
BTW My dentist is #6 of my doctors retiring this year. And the Physical Therapy office I sometimes frequent sent me a letter advising me they no longer accept Medicare patients new or otherwise.
