    Default Re: WalMart Gave Out My Prescription Info to My Ex

    How did she manage to obtain the list? I agree with the assessment that unless it directly related to your care (seemingly inapplicable under the circumstances) they should not release your prescription information without your consent. I'm just wondering if she simply asked for the list and they gave it to him, or if she somehow misled them.

    While I certainly agree that the best course of action would have been NOT to give the list to the wife, I asked because I was thinking that if said wife had been authorized by the OP to pick up said prescriptions (including the associated cautions about their use), it COULD be argued that she already had the information.

    Still stupid on WalMart's part.

    First of all, I am the wife. My to be exhusband who had never picked up a prescription for me went to WalMart and simply asked for the records. He was given them. I talked to WalMart Pharmacy and they said that is standard operating procedure. Then they said they mailed them to him at my address. That did alot of good as he had put in a forwarding address and it got forwarded to him. I have filed the complaint with the office that you recommended but have not heard anything. I am sure it will take sometime. I did it all over the net so hopefully I did what I needed to do. I guess I still need to talk to an attorney. Would the prosecuting attorney handle something like this?

    i am just living with my roommate and not married, but i pick up her prescriptions, and at the end of the year, i get a print out of all her prescriptions for the year , with no problems, not even having to sign anything....this is with multiple pharmacies and they are some hardcore drugs. i think unless you tell them SPECIFICALLY not to give info to anyone they will, i am guessing I could go in an get info on your prescriptions.
