What is the maximum penalty for accessing and using someones medical contact information without authorization or permission?
What EXACTLY does the questioner mean by, "medical contact information?" If by that you mean who is listed as your next of kin, or whom to notify in case of an emergency, I'm pretty sure that THAT information is not covered under HIPPA. Only your specific medical diagnosis, condition, treatment and meds are covered as confidential.
Can confidential information be released to an attorney?

Can a 16 year old sign a Hippa form in the state of Florida precluding their parents from knowing any medical information about them?
Yes, in the state of Florida, minors who are at least 16 years old can consent to certain medical treatments without parental permission. This includes the ability to sign a HIPAA form to prevent their parents from accessing their medical information. However, there are exceptions where parents may still have access to their child's medical information, such as in cases where the minor is a dependent on their parent's insurance.
Duty of confidentiality imposed by law on doctor?
If the doc tells anybody anything about you.... that is MALPRACTICE for which you can sue his butt (unless you give him/her permission as when you are referred to another doc). One of the reasons we go to ANY doc is because we trust them. That includes maintaining confidentiality.If there is evidence of a crime such as a bullet wound, sexual abuse, abuse of a child or any crime, the law protects the person or child or anybody who is a victim. in these cases the law states the doc MUST report it. Since it is required by law he/she is protecting the victim and can not be sued.Another View: The ethics of the AMA (American Medical Association) and the doctors profession impose an ETHICAL code of silence on him - The LAW respects and acknowledges this ETHICAL practice but the doctor's "code of confidentiality," is NOT necessarily codifed in the law in all jurisdictions. Also, as mentioned in the previous answer, there are many exceptions to it. ADDITIONALLY: Within recent times the 'Health Information Privacy and Portability Act' (HIPPA) places further restrictions on medical practitioners and medical facilities.

How can a HIPPA authorization can be revoked?
A HIPAA authorization can be revoked by the individual who provided it at any time, as long as the revocation is made in writing.

However, the revocation does not apply to information that has already been disclosed in reliance on the authorization prior to its revocation. It's important for patients to check with their healthcare provider for specific procedures on how to effectively revoke their authorization.

HIPPA is the health insurance portability and protection act. Basically, if you change or lose your job, your health insurance plan is protected by HIPPA.

Obviously, you have patient rights and HIPPA will cover them while you are in between jobs.
Can a doctor call Administration about a patient in ER without patients consent?
Per HIPPA, disclosure of medical information must be secure and controlled. In this case, if the Doctor is a resident of the hospital where the patient resides, the Doctor is considered a secure and controlled release. It is under a HIPPA rule, a disclosure, but not a violation. A visiting Doctor is not allowed access to patient records without the patient consent.
