Jeremy Maclin - Philadelphia Eagle

[Sgt PSN]

Hungry hungry HIPPAS

[hbionic]

HIPPA, the ugly, lesser known, Middleton sister.

[ice grillin you]

oh my

[theduffman]

im pretty sure hippa laws dont apply to the eagles....they apply to the health care professionals

for instance it would be illegal for macks health care provider or insurance company to disclose his illness...but if mack told the eagles what the problem was there are no hippa laws preventing the eagles from disclosing it

someone correct me if im wrong but i think thats how it works

anyway the eagles treat the players they want very well....its the players they dont want or who have gotten on the wrong side of them who they disembowel

As someone who receives annual training on HIPAA requirements, I can tell you that the Eagles are prevented from disclosing the information because they cover Maclin under an "employer sponsored health plan".  Rick Burkholder even said during one of his question/answer sessions that he couldn't legally say anything about Maclin's condition because Maclin had requested them not to disclose his PHI (Protected Health Information).

Now now don't you go using facts around IGY.

[General_Failure]

Whatever it takes to take a shot at them, right? I'm not judging, I'm just saying.

[ice grillin you]

i tried to defend them but duffy talked me out of it

Sometimes they may deserve defending, but this instance isn't one of them.  They had no choice in the matter.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So no word on the hundreds of times players' conditions do get leaked, then?

[Rome]

Who cares about any of this?

All I care about is that he gets healthy and back on the field.

With the start of free agency three weeks away, Eagles free-agent receiver Jeremy Maclin remains hopeful that he can reach a deal to stay in Philadelphia. "I've always stated this is where I want to be. The Eagles have stated the same thing," Maclin said Saturday at the NovaCare Complex before tryouts for the Soul of the arena league. "We'll continue to get on the same page with all that and just get something done."

[Munson]

Why is he at tryouts for the Soul?

[Diomedes]

He's networking.
