hippa act and medical power of attorney?
Where does it indicate that the patient can't be given information that their family have phoned looking for them and that they can have a phone to call their family and schedule a visit as soon as possible. This does not give the family any information whatsoever. I recently had this problem. My family was devastated looking for me while a hospital denied my admission citing hippa.

The patient can call anyone they want,but unless you have specifically named the person as someone who can receive information about you they can't be told anything.

if you are over 18, they legally can't say weather you are in the hospital or not, unless you give them permission to do so.. or if you are not wake and they need to find a next of kin..
