no it doesn’t. HIPAA applies to health care entities and a few of their contractors sharing your health information without your consent. it has nothing to do with any question asks of you or your answer to such a question
I understand that. I’m saying that it is already a given that I don’t have to answer such questions and this just ensures that others that, in their professional capacity, know my medical information, can not share it with others.
If someone wants to know if I’m sick, they can take my temperature. I ain’t sayin’ nothin’. And I have every right to say nothin’. And they can refuse to serve me.
I’m good with that. It’s a free country. :)
