I use a pharmacy in confidence and do not share that information with any member of my family including my wife. My account at the pharmacy was past due and comptroller of the pharmacy took the information off my account to look up my wives information and contact her. The pharmacy informed my wife that I had a prescription purchase on my account and asked her to make payment for me. They also went on to tell her that I had a history of prescription purchases at the pharmacy. Isn't this a violation of my privacy through HIPPA?
