I would suggest that you read the rules for agreeing and disagreeing.
Ask Me Help Desk - FAQ: Terms of Service, FAQ and How To Use This Site.
Also, alienating the very people who are trying to help you is not a smart idea.
HIPAA has EVERYTHING to do with the patient and NOTHING to do with anything else so I have no idea why if this has nothing to do with a patient you are posting it as "as this a HIPAA violation" or why you are even concerned that it is. For that matter, if it doesn't concern a patient, why are you charged with a HIPAA violation? For making personal phone calls from work (not a HIPAA violation, of course) - which apparently is another charge against you.
I have already told you that the person involved claims you took the number out of the chart. You claim you did not. You both state your case and offer proof. A hearing officer decides. Again, refrain from the "Nobody saw me" language and concentrate on "I didn't do it."
There are no other answers.
I suspect something is missing from this story.
