Is it a hippa violation if a clinic informs one parent with joint legal custody that the other parent has requested records of a minor child be sent to another provider out of their state of residence?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. The clinic is being extremely vigilant and should be commended. Both parents have a right to know about anything that concerns the child if they have joint legal custody. If one parent requested that the child's medical records be sent out of state that's a big red flag that they may be planning a move with the child. It would be commendable if the clinic notified the other parent. In fact, if they did not and the requesting parent took the child out of state, without the consent of the other parent, the clinic may face some liability for not notifying the other parent.
