HIPAA protects an individual’s health information such as diagnoses, treatment information, medical test results, and prescriptions. HIPAA also protects information such as birth dates, gender, ethnicity, and contact information.
What is an Example of a HIPAA Violation?

What is the most common HIPAA violation?
The most common HIPAA violation among healthcare employees is peeking through other people’s health records, even if they are a close friend or relative. Employees also violate HIPAA searching through health records of celebrities. Essentially, if you view someone’s health record and you are not the individual’s doctor, then you are violating HIPAA law.
Does HIPAA apply to coworkers?
If you suspect that your employer may have shared your personal health information with your fellow employees, you would only be able to claim a HIPAA violation if your employer is a health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or healthcare provider.
