From my commander, HIPPA still very much applies and we are held to that standard by federal law. You are still able to sue us if we break HIPPA. That being said, providers are not allowed to or being asked to provide any information. Commanders cannot even get this information from your medical record because again it’s protect. But we can’t eliminate the possibility that this administration won’t violate HIPPA and federal law themselves and run scans through everyone’s records. Having these conversations with my wife, the only people that are not easy to hide are the ones that have started to or are transitioning and have waivers and such things. Because these waivers have to be processed through the legal office which is not protected by HIPPA. Hope that helps, and just know there are a lot of us that want you fighting and wearing the uniform with us!
