Under HIPAA an entity cannot retaliate against you for filing a complaint. You should notify OCR [Office for Civil Rights] immediately in the event of any retaliatory action.

- colonwqbang 3y agoWhy do you feel that?
- dylan604 3y agoit's not like they're going to come out and say, "yup, we dissed you because you were a whiny customer and lodged a complaint". you'd have to sue, and then hope to find some email specific to your case in discovery. why in the world do you feel it would be anything different?
- ninjin 3y agoWould the same not equally well apply to the company being sued? That they would have to dig up evidence as to why they have decided to deny service. Not arguing that suing a corporation is a pleasant and easy experience though.
- colonwqbang 3y agoI assume that the Office for Civil Rights would investigate it, not OP personally. I would think this agency has some teeth in general to enforce these rules. But maybe you know something that I don't.
