February 26, 201610 yr Author Yep, and this holds much more water than the other federal HIPPA stuff people were incorrectly referencing.See, the issue as stated here: third party who receives a patient’s medical record “is prohibited from further disclosing any information in the medical record without the expressed written consent of the patient or the patient’s legal representative.” ^is the core of HIPPA within the healthcare community. A person's privacy and consent will be argued here. If this gains traction, I wouldn't be shocked if it didn't/couldn't extend to the facility where the records came from.

February 26, 201610 yr Were the records in Fl or does JPP live in FL? Does this even matter? ESPN runs story nationally from their Connecticut base but has to abide by every state law?
