This is literally the PURPOSE of HIPAA, and why it was passed. To enable the sharing of medical data amongst third parties. The P does NOT stand for privacy.
As somebody with far lesser valued letters, I agree and commend you for recognizing this.
Now that I've trodden most of the way down the path and understand (somewhat anyway) how the system works, I'll be able to give to my children the knowledge, and hopefully the financial support that your parents gave you so they can have those letters.
I hope they reflect on it later in life the same way that you are here.
Where there's a will, there's an Inheritance Tax.
