I am insured under United Health Care and have noticed that my private medical information is being disseminated to other doctors in the network and third-party Disability Management Companies without my written permission. I believe this violates HIPAA and my civil rights. Can United Health Care legally share my medical information without my consent, and what laws or regulations cover this process? Additionally, what actions can I take, such as contacting a federal agency or seeking legal assistance, to address this issue?

My husband was given a random breathalyzer test at work on 27 May 2017, where he blew a 0.4, exceeding the allowed limit of 0.2. He was advised to either resign or be terminated and chose to self-enroll in a 30-day rehab/detox program to save his job. However, he was let go due to using the Employee Assistance Program in 2015. He has been sober since then and has tried to get the union to speak on his behalf. We are unsure why he was put under duress to resign instead of being fired and feel he has been wronged. What should we do to fight for his job back?
