Re: Hipaa Law
In order to sue you have to suffer damages. If your doctor refused to give them information, then he did nothing wrong. They can ask for anything they want, they do not violate the law by asking. However, they do violate the law by publishing false statements about you. However, whether you could sue or not would be determined more by whether you suffered money damages as a result. I would guess you likely did not.
You should see an attorney locally who can help you determine if you have a case.
