Pulled my credit report and a medical account was added I am allowed under the HIPPA law [ HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 ], to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to CHOICE RECOVERY INC # XXXX to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that HIPPA does allow for limited information about me but anything more than to CHOICE RECOVERY INC # XXXX is to only be revealed with the patient 's authorization, therefore my request is two-fold and as follows, Validation of Debt, and HIPPA authorization.
