The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) prevents doctors from sharing a patient’s personal information without their consent.
The American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics. Principle of Medical Ethics IV says: “A physician shall respect the rights of patients, colleagues, and other health professionals, and shall safeguard patient confidences and privacy within the constraints of the law.”
