Almost nothing in HIPAA applies to employers, so a violation is unlikely.

Employers need not have cause to fire workers. The Supreme Court has ruled firing for "good reason, bad reason or no reason" is lawful, unless you have a contract, or the firing violates a statute. Firing without cause violates no statute.

What is the difference between incidental disclosure and a HIPAA violation?

Incidental disclosure refers to the unintentional exposure of protected health information (PHI) that occurs during normal operations, like a patient’s name being overheard in a waiting room. A HIPAA violation, on the other hand, involves a breach of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations, which can include intentional or negligent actions that compromise the privacy and security of PHI. While incidental disclosures may not always result in penalties if reasonable safeguards are in place, HIPAA violations can lead to significant fines and legal repercussions depending on the severity and intent.
