Are there any lawyers, lawyers in training or people who are very firmiliar with the law out there?


Can a physical therapist call a patient's doctor, attempt to diagnose him on her own, get a nurse to come in to cathiterize a patient and call his insurance to see if he is approved. Esspecially since the patient didn't give her any insurance info. That leads me to believe she got it from the doctor, can he give out that info to someone who isn't in his practice, isn't social services, and isn't another doctor? And can a physical therapist decide someone needs a cathiter without going through tests to see if they are retaining fluids or have any bladder or kidney infections?

Surely a lawyer from the United States must know the United States privacy act and hipaa law. Someone like that.

I am sure that there are many attorneys that could answer your question. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area.

Of course there are many lawyers and a lawyer is expected to be familiar with all laws of land!
