Pharmacy HIPAA Violations

Meaning

Pharmacy HIPAA Violations are defined as unauthorized uses or disclosures of Protected Health Information (PHI) managed by a dispensing pharmacy, especially concerning sensitive hormone therapies or controlled substances prescribed for endocrine management. These breaches compromise the necessary privacy for patients managing conditions like hypogonadism or complex adrenal disorders, often involving prescription fulfillment logs or counseling records. Such occurrences trigger mandatory regulatory investigation and potential fiscal sanctions.
