As long as the tape was stopped when Casey received her treatment for asthma/hyperventilation, anxiety meds, how has HIPPA been violated???
An anxiety attack IS a medical condition, even before treatment. If Casey experienced an attack that was filmed for security reasons, it appears that the jail is responsible for keeping that information private.

In subsequent modifications of the regulations, HHS stated, "Individually identifiable health information about inmates is protected health information under the final rule." Thus, HHS clearly envisions that certain correctional institutions must comply with HIPAA.
