Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filing a HIPAA complaint can be done by any individual who believes their or someone else's health information privacy rights have been violated. This can be done by accessing the official website of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and completing an official complaint form online. There is no requirement to retain a lawyer, be a covered entity, or contact a state's insurance commissioner to file a HIPAA complaint.
