Ever get a call from your pharmacy telling you that a prescription is ready for pickup? Cool, huh. Ever get a call intended for someone else because their database is out-of-date? Uh, not cool.
Simple solution: Use your CID detail to call back the store. Speak to a pharmacist. Inform them that the computer is automatically violating HIPPA laws.*
They might be confused at first but they will take the time to solve your problem. The day I thought of this it took me 3:00 minutes including speaking to someone else first. Post a comment if you beat my high score and how you improved the script.
Why did this work for me? My theory is that the problem of spamming you with a phone call on a Saturday morning (causing you to run down stairs) is less important than the CVS problem of violating HIPPA Laws by informing you about another person’s medical history (without their consent).
