You do not have the right to sue your health care provider in federal court (United States District Court) for violating your right to get and amend your medical record under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. You have the right to sue a person who violates your medical record rights under Wisconsin law in state court. For example, you can sue to obtain your medical record or to challenge copying fees. If you win, the judge can award reasonable, actual attorney fees.
