Re: National Database containing RX info on us?

As of 2003, we thankfully have a Federal Medical PRIVACY Act, enacted to protect the patient (consumer) from info-sharing about an individual's medical conditions, courses of treatment (including medication, impairment limitations, etc....aimed primarilly at preventing discrimination by employers, prospective healthcare-carriers, etc....
At the Federal level "PRIVACY and CONFIDENTIALITY" are rigidly enforced within all departments, not just the DOJ and DEA.
If your physician discovered you were receiving prescriptions from an online physician (or pharmacy) via subrosa inquiry, he violated your "Privacy Rights". What I don't know is what penalties or civil exposure he faces. I'm certain there are thousands of violation complaints pending against physicians, pharmacies, hospitals, healthcare providers, insurance companies , and on and on.
You won't know what remedies are avilable without specialty counsel....the ACT is so new that it is likely none have reached mature conclusion, short of settlements which all would contain a clause excluding disclosure.
I do know that if you can find a passionate, civil-rights attorney in your city, they would consult with you free of charge. Problem is, "what damages did you suffer?"....personally I think it should be pursued if for no other reason than to remind the medical community we as patients demand compliance with the ACT. It will only take one substantial penalty or adverse civil verdict to cause physicians to understand the environment has changed, and that patients have rights too.
Short of that, you do nothing, and the problem perpetuates itself for all patients.
You'll have to decide what time and energy you are prepared to expend on this.....best of luck whatever you decide.
