Without ever sending me an original bill, a radiologist sent my account to a bill collector. The bill collector had all of my medical information, and even read the radiologist's report to me over the phone.

Now that is incredibly scary. Hippa was supposed to keep information like that private. You could have sued the HELL out of the radiologist for releasing your medical information to the collection agency.

In fact, if I was you, I would or at least make a formal complaint to the FTC and your states Attorney General's Office and the medical licensing association in your state. It is highly illegal for a doctor to release your medical information to anyone except another doctor (with your consent) your insurance company and those who you gave written permission to receive the information.

You really should go after that doctor.
