This is the information I got off the HIPAA site on how to file a complaint:
Quote:
9. What can I do if someone violates the HIPAA Privacy Rule?
You don't have the right to sue under HIPAA. The most you can do is file a complaint. The privacy notice you receive from your health care provider or plan is required to tell you how to file a complaint within the organization. The notice should also tell you how to contact the HHS Office of Civil Rights. This is the government office charged with enforcing the Privacy Rule.
You must file your complaint within 180 days of the violation, but HHS can extend that time. HIPAA says you cannot be denied treatment because you file a complaint.
