As with many things, HIPAA “experts” are everywhere.  There is also a lot of misinformation, confusion, and downright bad advice being handed out by people who think they understand HIPAA more than they actually do.  Wrong HIPAA statements can be found on a lot of discussion boards and just out in the world talking to people. We deal with those issues on a regular basis. Sometimes we can laugh about it.  Other times we just have to take very deep breaths before we find ourselves responding inappropriately. Our intent here is to educate, always educate even when you are dealing with someone that may not know they need educating.
