    Is this a violation?
    I worked for an ambulance district and the paramedic and myself went to the emergency room so I could get a prescription. I no longer work for them and made a complaint to the EEOC, the paramedic wrote a statement to the EEOC stating, I am taking this prescription and which doctor gave it to me. Is this a violation? She did it malicously to discredit me.

    Violation of what? Did she tell the truth? Did she make the statement as part of the investigation into your complaint?

    If you made a complaint to the EEOC and the medic was asked these questions due to an ongiong investigation, then no there was no HIPAA violation.
