Is it legal for someone to obtain a minors medical history without permission.

Question

Is it legal for someone to obtain a minors medical history without permission.



Answer

In my opinion, this is a violation of the HIPAA privacy rule which is a federal guideline that protects disclosure of a person's medical records. This is a very serious matter. For additional information sit down with a lawyer of your choice to discuss this matter, if you or someone you know needs help with this.
