Walmart

I trust this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of grave concern regarding the practices at your pharmacy.

I was subjected to an intrusive and potentially unlawful practice. The pharmacist, in violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, insisted on me divulging my medical history in front of a gathering of 17 individuals as a prerequisite for obtaining my prescription.

HIPAA, as you may be aware, strictly prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of personal health information. The actions of your pharmacist raise serious questions about compliance with this federal law. Additionally, state laws may also be implicated, as the disclosure occurred withou the requisite consent, violating the privacy rights.

I urge you to investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate actions to rectify the situation. Such practices not only jeopardize the well-being of your patrons but also expose your organization to potential legal consequences.

I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary steps to ensure that the rights and privacy of your customers are safeguarded.

Sincerely,

Edward M. Denny III
