Coast Guard release information of protected health information of step-child with-out her mothers written or verbal consent. Can they be held accountable for any conquences that resulted in their violations on several occassions over the pass few years. My question is in fact is it not true that the Coast guard must comply with Hippaa requirements and that only under certain circumstances listed in the requirements that such information can be release without consent Please advise if this is not correct and what would could be done to the personnel that release the PHI Thank you.

DoD, USCG, and federal agencies have HIPPA regulations, and should be following them.
