The Office of Personnel Management is asking insurers that cover federal employees and retirees to hand over details about their medical visits, their pharmacy claims, and more. cbsn.ws/4tBfdJ7
@OldSaltNewPeppa@CBSNews Right. As determined by HHS. Specifically through the OCR.
In other words, the government at tgat time determined it was not illegal for employers to require proof of the covid vac.
@55MMAC@CBSNews Not a violation for non-govt employers to require proof of vaccination. HIPAA applies only to covered entities (health care plans) & their associates when they handle PHI. Employers are not covered entities when acting as employer. Info in employment records is excluded from PHI.
@55MMAC@pamelasm AGAIN!
HIPAA/HSA regulates how covered entities doctors, hospitals, health insurers disclose PHI. It does not prevent employers, businesses or individuals from asking for vaccination status or proof. Employers are not covered entities.
@55MMAC@CBSNews Because the feds accessing your private prescription records will save lives in a public health emergency, for sure!
God you people are sooooo fucking stupid.....
@55MMAC@Samhain442@CBSNews I have had metal scopes up my nose all the way into my sinuses on many occasions and I have never once bled from that. Hard to believe a Q Tip could cause that, so yes I'm sure that was an isolated incident...if it even happened.
@55MMAC@pamelasm Many ppl provided the ANSWER.
If you’re being purposely obtuse, you’re wasting your time. If you’re NOT being purposely obtuse, you’re wasting ours.
Stop living in your manufactured past and trying to gaslight. It’s a weak performance.
@rhasg@Samhain442@CBSNews Largest swab they could find. My friend came home bleeding one day. I was shocked that they could be so cruel. Had to call our congressmen to put a halt to it. Think that that was an isolated incident???
@55MMAC@Samhain442@CBSNews Steight lies. Injured by the testing? You mean the nose swab? Unless you’re an absolute idiot it didn’t happen, if it did you deserve it. Fired for refusing the vax? Very, very limited cases does this apply and I’m guessing you don’t know what they are. Just pipe down.

@pamelasm@WWonTwit Wow my comment really raised some hackles! All you calling me names, accusing me of lying. Yet no one provided a valid argument, although some tried. Who is it that determines what is and isn't PHI....especially during the Biden admin? HHS.
@55MMAC@WWonTwit Youre being made fun of because you dont understand HIPAA. Healthcare workers are beholden to the rules. Patients can always choose to disclose.

@55MMAC@Squish43172398@CBSNews You have pointed out no hypocrisy and if you truly were a HIPAA officer, you would know there’s a big difference between an employer asking the individual for 1 specific thing v the employer asking a medical provider for complete healthcare records without consent from workers

@doverson_benny@Squish43172398@CBSNews Just a conservative Christian American, same job almost 20 years. Boss didn't require proof. Others I know not so fortunate. Lost their jobs since refused the vacc. Or literally INJURED by the daily testing with huge oversized swabs until our congressman stepped in.
