Never heard back from hipaa. Next?
Went to a city hospital for scheduled appointment at specialist. It was on an upper floor. Took an elevator. Checked in. Giving nurse ID, insurance, paperwork.
Nurse calls me back, past office, in hall on way to room, security jogs up from behind. Stops infront me, stretches his arms wide, and says ‘you have to leave!’ Nurse tells him he can’t do this. But this security guard wouldnt let me by. He was extremely rude and aggressive. Standing very close to me, and saying Leave! Matching my every step. Nurse follows me to the elevator speaking out against the security guard. We ride the elevator, get to the main door, he’s wanting my ID, asking my name, and saying he’ll ‘let me in’ if I give him my information to be stored in their database. I keep walking out.
Report of event was made online to HIPAA. Never heard back. What do I do? They deny me access for any appointment at the main door. They are the only provider for 100miles. All my kids had to change doctors.
I have done nothing ever to anywhere for this to be happening. Beyond that, it’s my understanding I should not have to give ID to security and police to gain access to my doctors office.
