[QUOTE=peragro]Yep. I know the HIPPA stuff has really cracked down on inforamation that used to be available in my world. Folks who violate the new restrictions (and are caught doing so) are not treated kindly.[/QUOTE

They are raking in the violation fees.

Come you guys, admit it.... you have all listened to Rush at one time or the other. It's like watching two dogs go at it, it's repulsive, but somehow you can't look away.

So what do you do with the samples?

I don't know. After the Hippa snafu I never bothered asking i just know the supply closet didn't have drug samples in it anymore. don't ask don't tell. Lucy you got some splainin to do. have a good weekend.

Then you were in the only doctors office in the country without physcians samples.

and it is HIPAA BTW:rolleyes:

You have no idea what you are talking about, you must be working a mop bucket.

I listened for a while but I've been looking away for a lonnnnng time now. The guy is capable of seeing things only through the prism of his navel.

And now we learn that he sees the world while a tourist through the tip of his **** (cyclops buddy).

HIPAA is related to patients' medical records and some other confidentiality matters. I am HIPAA certified, btw.

Yes, doctors are able to give out samples. The physicians I know give them to people who can not afford the medications. I have never heard anything about hospitals not being able to hand out samples, but I have also never heard of hospitals giving them out either.

Thanks
