    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.

    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.
