The National Community Pharmacists Association announced that it has joined several consumer privacy groups (Consumer Action, U.S. Public Interest Research Group, Patient Privacy Rights, Private Citizen, and Privacy Journal) in asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate CVS Caremark for potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). NCPA represents the pharmacist owners, managers and employees of more than 22,000 independent community pharmacies in the United States.
