HIPAA?

[Guest guest]

So now that they released the name of the Atlanta Lawyer that

potentially exposed passengers on two overseas flights it begs the

question, do the potential exposures warrant releasing the name of the

patient?

Would it not suffice to say that if you were on plane X and Y contact

the CDC or local health department for testing? Seems like unnecessary

exposure including the point that his father-in-law works in TB for the

CDC.

Gene, want to jump in?
