Recently had a patient call for info, said her pharmacy was closed. I
thought they had a 24 hour pharmacy in the (small) chain, so I called it

hr location.
They said their HIPPA policy prohibited them from accessing the profile
from another location.

It's HIPAA, not HIPPA.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
