i dont think its right to have a person who has selfdisclosed to the company about a drug problem go to the same clinic as coworkers.how dense are you,dont you think the people you run into are going to ask you why your there.i have been to the clinic for an injury and you hear everybodys business.the people who work there dont know what your deal is with the company they just do the urine test,which is why to me people should not be in the same clinic.also if someone overhears your buisness in the waiting room it is the clinics fault but in the end the burden of guilt would fall on ups for sending you there in the first place.Disclosing the reason the person is sent to the clinic may be a violation of hipaa. Two people going to the same clinic for different reasons is not a violation of hipaa or privacy. If the clinic disclosed the purpose of the visit, the clinic would be in violation.
What ever happened to personal responsibility? A person abuses drugs, gets fired, agrees to free rehabilitation and then sues because their privacy was violated by having to use a public facility??? Seems ridiculous to me to even suggest it.
