  1. HIPAA when not involved in care but is family

    Sunflower2019 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges
    Okay, this may sound silly, but I am a little bit paranoid about HIPAA and privacy law. I prefer to err on the side of caution when in doubt about privacy issues. That said, I have recently had a situation that made me wonder: My Family Member X is in the hospital. I get a text from Family Member Y saying that X is in the hospital. Y generally functions as the family point of contact. Family Member Z texts me to ask how X is; is it okay for me to tell Z what Y said, presuming Y said it's fine? Note that I am only a family member here, not in any way involved professionally in care. Are we held to a higher standard of some kind when it comes to sharing about family or friends if we are ONLY family/friends (not involved in care in any way)?
