We started investigating the massive HIPAA violation in March after a tipster called to say he found the files while recycling his trash. The files included names, social security numbers, prescriptions, and diagnoses.
"It makes me sick to my stomach now to see that," said compromised patient John Marlatt when shown copies of his file by Problem Solvers. "My information is all in here."
"This could affect someone's career, their whole life. They could lose everything," said Workman when shown pictures of her dumped file. "That's an awful and sick feeling."Law professor Hoffman said the dumping of the medical files was a clear violation of HIPAA, and violations could cost offenders millions of dollars.
Then, Problem Solvers tried to contact Khaled Amr, who was the registered agent listed with the state for clinics Columbus Pain Specialists, Columbus Addiction Specialists, Columbus Medical Center, and Columbus Addiction Center. All clinics have closed.Personal Records Rights "It's possible the doctor did the right thing, had a business associate agreement, told the storage facility that these are very sensitive documents," said Dr. Hoffman. "I doubt some low-level employee decided to do that on their own."
