Should I go to IG for HIPAA Violation by my 1SG and PSG?

You should like a real loser. Do us all a favor and go AWOL.

Good luck with your complaint, I’m sure it will only keep the spotlight on you, if you’re that injured and have these ailments, then you and your primary provider should have discussed this prior to you speaking in a room that barely keeps anyone from listening or eavesdropping on your conversation, you should’ve stepped out to your car to discuss anything you had wished to keep private, but you didn’t do that, the cats out of bag dude, next time use COMMON SENSE

I wrote the IG on a more serious mater and was written back to either write the White House or take my complaint to the patient advocate and let the local VA facility handle the problem. I can't do either and the IG knows that. The White City VA killed a veteran who died of a blood clot that they caused by neglect and poor patient care. So write them to see Your HIPAA is more important than a death of a Veteran

There are a lot of misconceptions about HIPAA and the military. There is a "command exception" clause as big as an Abrams tank built in to the law. The premise is that a commander has the right to know about health issues affecting those in their command. Among the things the commander can use the information for is to determine fitness for duty, fitness for a particular assignment, or mission fitness, overall. It doesn't mean that the commander has full access to one's medical record, only the minimum amount of information required to maintain mission readiness. In addition, the commander can only share their information with those with a legitimate need to know, such as those in the soldier's direct chain of command, and even then, they can't go around publicizing it either.

On the other hand, if a soldier poses a serious risk to themselves, to others, or the mission, then the commander is required to be informed. The commander must also be informed if, for instance, a soldier is admitted to the hospital, to a substance abuse program, or any other acute condition (physical or mental) affecting duty fitness. Having someone on duty who has significant physical or mental issues can put others -- and themselves -- at serious risk.

Commanders are allowed to review and have access to your medical profiles.

Let the med board complete the process. Separate and go your separate ways.

I wish people would quit thinking they are covered by the HIPAA Laws, WE are not, except in a very narrow window. HIPAA only applies to what they call "covered entities", entities NOT covered by HIPAA are Life Insurers, Employers, Workers Compensation Carriers most schools and school districts, Law Enforcement Agencies, Municipal offices, and many State Agencies.
Basically HIPAA covers how your health information, billing, etc., is transmitted, stored and shared between COVERED entities. The Army being your employer is exempted from HIPAA rules.

Don't listen to these ncos and officers shitting all over your question. They feel like they have to pull rank via a question. Ncos an officers like this are the ones that want you to thank them for there service.
They can kiss your med board a*s. I hate when blue falcons pull rank. They can take that rank that they love to abuse and stick it were the sun Don't shine.

You coc definitely pulled rank an sht there pants when told them that your conditions are none of their business but then again it is.

Do yourself a favor an have your apps away from the company for its not their business. Only your immediate coc. Go talk to your med board lawyer an tell them what happened when they pulled intimation card. My co (which was new to me) doodooed his pants when i informed gim all he had to do was sign the pprwrk. He proceeded to pull rank and advice me that he is the cpt and that it's his company and he will do what he wants. I looked at first srnt an he was like my hands are tied.

Ok so i went to the lawyer told him i got ranked pulled on me for a simple signature suffice it to say my pprwrk was signed by eob. Joke was on him they were trying to hard to chapter me for not makimg weight that week, all the while i was 6 months into my med board.

Just dont make any more waves let them clowns fall all over themselves while you just get your pprwrk in order f them. An for you clowns spare me the professional bs because yall are thee least of the word.
Good luck

You realize that this is the shitty end of the stick for you, right

Only medical professionals can violate HIPAA. Your command has a right to know certain things. Another kid who has never deployed, never did anything in the military and getting VA compensation because they have mental issues

From what you described, it seems like you were being held hostage during your appt, which in the moment, must have felt at the very least awkward and you did not know how to react, or what to do. Maybe you felt like you were stripped from choice; and simply, you did what you were told to do. In hindsight, you ultimately did not have to take that call in their office, you could have openly explained how you felt to your provider over the phone, you could have explained the situation to the provider over the phone. Your appt is YOUR appt.

You did not have to consent to their presence during your appt.

What I've gathered from the other comments in this section, it seems like your commander and 1SG could have gathered this information about you anyways, after the matter, it did not give them the right to attend your appt.

Of course, we're only being told pieces of this incident, and just from one perspective. Hopefully this will get people to research what confidential information they are allowed to, or not to, disclose. And hopefully this discussion can proactively come up with the correct responses to this situation, and more importantly, how to avoid something like this from happening again.
