What constitutes a HIPPA violation?

I am sorry for the problems that you are having with regard to the violations. I would start by reporting the violation to the state agency that would be able to help: your state Department of Insurance. It is my understanding that in Arizona the number is (602) 255-5400. Call them and see where it goes from there. Violating HIPAA laws can lead to very steep fines. Now, I am assuming that you also want to sue on a personal level. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress is a cause of action (a right to bring a lawsuit) in some states. I would speak with a personal injury attorney in your area to discuss the matter in detail. He or she will be able to let you know if you have a case. Good luck.
