When it comes to an employer disclosing medical information, I don't believe it's a HIPAA violation. It still can be against the law if they don't have your permission, but I don't believe that HIPAA is the law that is violated in that circumstance. HIPAA specifically applies to covered entities, and your employer wouldn't be one of those, unless you worked for a hospital or insurance company or something like that
so he was showing signs of a heart attack and before he actually had one they caught it
I watched the postgame interviews and he couldn’t stop coughing for more than maybe 20 seconds.After what happened to Mike Leach, TJ's little cough makes me nervous too.

I had to watch some little relatives this afternoon for a couple of hours, one with RSV again, one with norovirus, and a baby with an ear infection. Probably a lethal combo at my age.
Just hope TJ’s is just too much yelling and not something his kids gave him that’s going to run through the team too.
I THINK in the case of a self-funded / fully insured policy it may be different, but am not sure. But certainly in any other scenario you are correct.When it comes to an employer disclosing medical information, I don't believe it's a HIPAA violation.

Same. That was the six year old so pretty easy just to stick her on her tablet in a separate room. I wore gloves in their house the whole time.Fingers crossed for you that you don't get noro. That's one persistent bug.

RSV freaks me out because we almost lost our oldest to that as a baby, but seems a lot less debilitating for a four year old.
Troponin blood test would be a heart attack.Maybe pain and tightness in the chest.........shortness of breath........along with feeling ill.
I can see a battery of "standard procedures" being done. And I'm sure his blood was tested and if that came back a little different they will keep him under watch for a few days to see if the blood levels return to normal.
And nobody knows the rules. Rep at my insurance this week denied me the diagnosis and treatment codes for an eob because it would violate hipaa.Actually HIPAA applies to anyone that has access to protected health information which is everything from providers, to insurance companies, to billing depts, as well as employers under certain circumstances. Something doesn’t have to be an “illness” to be protected under HIPAA, it is applicable to any protected health information
