Man Sues CVS for Telling Wife He Had Viagra Prescription

There was once a case where a healthcare provider was found liable under HIPAA for discussing reproductive care of an adult woman with another adult who lived with her, failing to anticipate that maybe her father would take a dim light to the information. Covered entities are allowed to discuss treatment and payment with spouses but are supposed to use professional judgment about it.

I'd anticipate that the lawyers look at this one, sigh, and settle. It's a cost-of-doing-business in healthcare.
