Can you explain how exactly? They only mentioned that they gave them a sticker at the end of the appointment.
Is it purely the fact that they admitted there was an appointment?
Yep. That's a HIPAA violation.
I don’t agree.
None of those were revealed. If some intrepid ambulance chaser wants to argue “i gave your son a sticker” is a “medical record”, go for it. Hell in some Bumblefuck red state county you might get in front of a judge with that. But you will not be making any money off of it, and no serious attorney would waste the court’s time.
Confirming someone is a patient without consent is a violation.
Edit: but the mom did open the door I suppose so maybe not.
Yep.
