Fairview Northeast Clinic violated the Hipaa laws and allowed a receptionist to view my personal medical information. On October 26, 2009, my Civil rights and right to privacy was grossly violated. I had an appointment with a Doctor and upon check in at the front desk, the receptionist named Keith asked me my name. He seemed to have not found my name on the computer. I asked him, “did you find me”? He said yes and then seemed to take quite awhile on the system, staring at the monitor. He then printed out a sheet of paper and sat there and stared at it with a smug expression on his face. That piece of paper had my entire medication list. I am very upset that this receptionist even had access to my personal information. This act was a gross violation of my privacy, my civil rights and the Hipaa Federal laws. I spoke to the Doctor about it and he said he should NOT have done that. Only nurses and Doctors have the right to access that information. I felt embarrassed and totally humiliated. 

Fairview is allowing receptionists to access and print out personal and confidential medical information, which is a gross violation of Federal law. I demand Keith be discharged immediately and NOT allowed to work at any Fairview location again. I wrote a letter to Fairview and their response was the receptionist have Hipaa training. This statement is nothing but a lie and I can prove it. Reading a pamphlet is not formal training.

Patients must Demand Fairview not give access to personal information to receptionists, who have NO medical training.

Any good lawyers willing to take my case please contact me.
