YoloinOhio Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 I'll believe it once Schefter tweets ithaha
jimmy10 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 But technically, and I am not a lawyer, I believe as far as HIPAA is concerned, it's on the hospital worker for disclosing the protected health information, not ESPN for broadcasting it.
aristocrat Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 schefter should scoop his own trial...so it looks like i'm losing 2 million...way 3 million...i'm considering chaper 13, no 11...oh no I've been fired.

Not media.

According to what I was taught when processing potential HIPAA data it is illegal to disclose it as well to receive it but the company I worked for Verizon lies all the time.

You may very well be right. At any rate, I like the idea of ESPN and Scheftnik getting boned for this.
CommonCents Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Schefter's reply? I didn't disclose his medical records and the Patriots didn't let any air out of the balls.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 http://nypost.com/2016/02/24/jpp-sues-espn-adam-schefter-for-posting-his-medical-records/ Good. I don't know anything about the legal status here .... Schefter and ESPN claimed HIPAA only applies to people in the medical profession...but I agree it was an invasion of privacy, and not only JPP's but the individual whose medical information was adjacent and not redacted..... scummy behavior x20 I hope they get rolled
YoloinOhio Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Schefter's reply? I didn't disclose his medical records and the Patriots didn't let any air out of the balls.he added that in other news, Marrone is on the short list of hot HC candidates in 2017.
BringBackFergy Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 he added that in other news, Marrone is on the short list of hot HC candidates in 2017.LOL
Nanker Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I believe it's a violation for anyone to disclose HIPAA information about anybody without their consent. Hope JPP cleans Schefter's clock on this.
PlayoffsPlease Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Who Must Follow These Laws We call the entities that must follow the HIPAA regulations "covered entities." Covered entities include: Health Plans, including health insurance companies, HMOs, company health plans, and certain government programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Most Health Care Providers—those that conduct certain business electronically, such as electronically billing your health insurance—including most doctors, clinics, hospitals, psychologists, chiropractors, nursing homes, pharmacies, and dentists. Health Care Clearinghouses—entities that process nonstandard health information they receive from another entity into a standard (i.e., standard electronic format or data content), or vice versa http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/guidance-materials-for-consumers/index.html Based on this chart it appears that ESPN would not be a covered entity https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/HIPAA-Administrative-Simplification/HIPAAGenInfo/Downloads/CoveredEntitycharts.pdf Edited February 25, 2016 by PlayoffsPlease
