Jeanette's training was correct. HIPAA has a huge loophole (I call it a
pothole) allowing free and unfettered exchange of personal health
information about a mom and baby, if it is for "treatment, payment, or
health care operations" purposes. The way I explain it: If you're "in the
loop," you're in the loophole.
