HIPPA Laws?

[Off the leash]

Not if they all die.

We can dream

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act restricts the provider from disclosing health information to another party without written authorization. The Act does not protect the individual from direct questions from an employer. Federal and State Governments are busy writing legislation to address this issue.

That's ADA laws if I'm not mistaken. Not HIPPA.

Actually I was wrong. It's a FMLA law. It's a federal thing after all.

Nope that's just what people think HIPAA is for. More than likely your center manager thinks the same thing.

I believe an employee has to give consent to the provider in order to apply for FMLA. The application will not be considered without a written medical explanation.
