Legal Question in Health Care Law in Virginia

hippa

My boyfriends ex-girlfriend works in medical records at a local medical office. She looked up my records and called his mother and told her I was pregnant and called him and told him she knew I was pregnant b/c she has access to my files. Well yeah she has access but shouldn't be looking at. What can I do about this situation?
