Is it possible to sue a Insurance companys doctor

HIPAA, the federal law that requires medical providers to keep your medical matter secret and confidential, provides for government imposed penalties, but does not provide a private cause of action. All you can do is file a complaint with the Department of Justice. I don't know whether there is any California law that would impose a penalty you could collect. The problem with an ordinary negligence claim for breach of your right to privacy is that what damages have you suffered? Did any of the people in the waiting room know you? The disclosure has not caused you to lose a prospective job, your current job, a promotion or a salary raise. As long as the government doesn't enforce this law, it will have no teeth.
