Question

It would be a HIPAA violation if my supervisor told my entire team that I called in sick to work because I had a migraine.
True
False

Answer 1

True. Sharing that you called in sick for a specific medical condition, such as a migraine, can be considered a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) if your supervisor discloses this information to your entire team without your consent. HIPAA protects the privacy of individuals' health information and mandates that such information should only be shared with individuals who have a legitimate need to know.
