A member asked:

If i went to er solely for panic attack & dr saw injection marks, then asked who prescribes my pain meds, can he/she alert my pain doctor? hippa law?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIPPA: HIPPA allows exceptions to confidentiality if you are an imminent risk to yourself or others. I strongly urge you to seek behavioral health treatment in addition to your medical treatment. The ER of your physician can give you a referral to a psychologist. Dr. Kathy Seifert
