Hypothetical - A physician performs an abortion on a twenty-something female who suffers an injury during the procedure. Anticipating a lawsuit, the physician shows her medical records to a friend of his. This friend then suggests that he contact his malpractice insurer.
Did this physician violate HIPAA?

If he blacked out all of her identifying info then it's not a HIPAA violation since the doctor protected her personal info and privacy. If he didn't black out her personal, identifying info then he would have violated HIPAA.
