PSA - need to ensure confidentiality at the health department

This could be from your cell phone, they use your location data for targeted advertising. Not saying your credit card isn’t nebbing, but smart phones have been doing it for a decade. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

Your SS number whenever used and where, credit and debit cards....

My cell phone is the least of my tracking concerns. Although after having one stolen and tracking it online I'm rather impressed by the accuracy... I can tell you which trashcan it was thrown into after I locked it down as well as how many attempts were made to access it.
Too bad I was already back in PA when they finally tossed it.

We are living in an Orwellian world.

Where do you think taxes come from?

Do you also think we should only drive toll roads on the way to our luxury medical service? Originally Posted by bkfantasy

It is also completely inane: here's a service that you, as a taxpayer subsidize because there's all manner of academic and real-world evidence to suggest that folks probably won't get tested if they had to go to their doctor on a name basis, but absolutely will get tested if they can go to a deliberately non-judgemental public health facility. But why ruin a perfectly good "economic justice" meme with, you know, data and thought? I mean: a hobbyist might spend, oh, let's say a marginal $200 on either another session or a test. Which one of those results in more money for an actual provider?

I commend the OP for taking his action: it's fucking unconscionable that the health department would somehow be leaking data into something like Mychart (Epic). That tells you that the HD either uses EPIC and was too stupid to consider the confidentiality ramifications of their implementation or they use something else and actually have it linked with AHN intentionally. Either way, it validates my decision to take the lazy man's approach and do the quest bit at a location that doesn't involve driving to and parking in Oakland.

Nope. Just the paper from the online site showing you (John Doe) paid.

You can take your STD test as soon as you have completed your order and have received your Lab Requisition Form or confidential test code in your email. Our lab technicians require the form or code in order to collect the samples needed for your STD test. The testing centers are open during normal business hours with some open on Saturdays. Visit the testing center nearest you at your convenience. Originally Posted by Molly Daniels

I did that and used a fake name but at quest when u went in, you had to sign in on an electronic monitor...I gave the fake name but stupidly used my real cell number.... well since my doctor has sent me to quest, all my results went to him also. Thank goodness everything came back ok lol

Just to clarify the topic here...

Is it...

Why do hobbyists utilize a FREE clinic if they can afford a LUXURY service, forcing tax payers to pay for your STD testing that you can afford to pay for yourself? As a previous poster noted, this can be done for $250 bucks...so perhaps if you need to utilize a free clinic to participate in a LUXURY HOBBY...then you are not ready to participate in said hobby?

Just curious as to the logic here?
HIPAA requirements are the same for a FREE clinic as they are for a paid doctor. Originally Posted by Gabrielle

Since your post was attacking me and how I choose to spend my money, you’ll note we never have met and never will, since you are a “luxury” I can well do without.

Yours in Christ,

This has been a helpful thread for those who are concerned about both their health and their privacy and I thank everyone who provided useful information.

but I'm pretty sure you're not related to all of the doctors in the area that accept payment for STD testing.

But hey...if you wanna suck off the government so you can be sucked off...and you can look at yourself in the mirror and feel good about it...who am I to stop ya?

BTW - I wasn't attacking you. I also was not offering to see you...um a little presumptuous, dontcha think? (*rhetorical* I really don't care what ya think.)

Also note...my comments are for "hobbyists" only.

If you can AFFORD to "hobby" then you can AFFORD to pay for your maintenance fees to upkeep your "hobby".

I mean imagine walking into the free clinic and saying, hey there doc...I really messed up my shoulder at a golf retreat over the weekend that I paid 1k to participate in, then there was the 4 star hotel...and the liquor...and the 5 star dinner, both nights...now I'm too broke to pay you so do you think I suck you off...I mean can I suck off of you for some FREE tests & services? Oh and I probably have insurance but I can't use it because then you might slip and fuck my wife...I mean slip and fucking tell my wife...you might tell her! Could ya even imagine?

My comments aren't about your healthcare...my comments are about y'all not paying for your "hobby" and passing those costs on to someone else. Also...bkfantasy...I can be whatever the fuck I wanna be.

Don't take the bait, guys. This is a pure troll.

Um...yeah maybe... Originally Posted by Gabrielle

Any doctor has access to ALL of your records if they are in your network.

You being judgmental about me “sucking off the government” is fascinating coming from someone who is, I assume, a professional criminal.

And, since you are full of opinions, I’ll share mine. If you are in the luxury business, maybe focus on being kind and sweet and fun. I’m a potential client and so are the other guys on here. Do yourself a favor and act like someone I’d want to spend an hour with in any capacity.

Yes I also like the part where a criminal is worrying about others "sucking off the government ".
And again, none of her fuckin business.

You're NOT a potential client. I actually have a say in who I see and who I don't.

I don't see "hobbyists". There are a TON of gentleman registered here that don't comment or participate because they aren't just seeing Whores so they can write a fake story, review, what ever the fuck you wanna call it...for other men to jerk their cocks to.

So there is that little part you overlooked.

Like I've already said...if you wanna suck off the government so you can get sucked off and you can sleep at night...by all means do so.

Don't think I didn't catch the little part where you have friends/family at your doctors and THATS why you suck off the government. One would think if your friends/family were, in fact, in the medical field...perhaps you would know the "in network" or at least look it up before going.

I'm not a troll...I'm a mouthy Whore. Please make the correction when referring to me in the future. Kk? Thanks!

XOXO,
Mouthy Whore
