HIPAA is a good law for most part.Before it was passed when we had patients in ICU
We would occasionally calls inquiring about patients-,relatives friends,nosy neighbors,etc.Some dumb arse nurses would tell them anything they wanted to know-diagnosis,prognosis,treatment and wouldn’t have a clue who they were talking to.
One nurse I worked with was in line to check out groceries and was blabbing to someone else in line all the details about a patient we had who happened to be a well known prominent person in the community.One of that person’s friends overheard the conversation and reported it.A big stink was raised but nothing really happened to the nurse besides an arse chewing.
Under HIPAA,she would have been fired and probably lost her license. That’s what should have happened.

I don't know if there is a provision about vaccines in the HIPPA law. Employers are not "forcing" you to disclose your vaccine status. But they'll treat you as unvaccinated if you refuse...
That is their workaround for HIPPA.

Nope. Has nothing at all to do with anyone except your medical providers (including their business partners such as insurance companies, medical records vendors, etc) not disclosing your medical information without your consent. It has nothing to do with you divulging your information to anyone else no matter the circumstances. If you are the one divulging the info, no matter the circumstances, HIPAA has nothing to say about it.

The HIPAA law is bad because physician office staff will not disclose patient information to family members unless a consent form is signed by the patient. Certainly a spouse, brother, sister, etc. should have the right to this information without restriction

It has nothing to do with vax mandates.
Sure it does. If my info is private no one knows if I’m vaxed or not. They keep changing it so the can get into peoples private records.

What is the HIPAA law? does it protect anyone from being forced by your company to get the vax or letting them know your vaxed or not?

Except when it comes to Covid19 vaccination status.

We do, but not divulging them to those who can't discern between Arthur and Author.

If medical confidentiality laws are to protect a persons medical information we can agree it doesn’t apply to Covid19 vaccine status.

Broosevelt I'd just Google HIPPA summary, or hell the whole damn thing. Leave a copy in the shitter and read it there. Hell it doesn't matter where you read it, the point is that as solid as all these frickers are around here, you just probably ain't gonna get a concise, all encompassing summary here tonight.

Maybe I don’t fully understand HIPAA. I always believed that HIPAA was something that each individual had to give permission to a healthcare provider to share with other parties regarding one’s medical records/history. When I report to work they want to know my medical status with regards to my Covid19 vaccine status….is this not protected by HIPAA?

That’s the key. An employer can not demand the information.
An employer gets under the blanket of HIPAA the moment they provide group health insurance. By providing insurance an employer becomes privy to PHI Through the insurance company. Once under the blanket of HIPAA they are legally required to follow HIPAA.

An employer can ask if you’re vaccinated. But not if you’re pregnant. Or have AIDS or Hepatitis.
If Democrats were opposed to Covid vaccinations, you would see the same protections applied to Vaccination status as you do to HIV status.
