Kaiser Permanente said Tuesday a list containing the names of 176 patients, their medical numbers, and prescribed medications was somehow placed in a pharmacy bag and given to another Kaiser Permanente patient who was picking up a refill.

It happened Monday at the Kaiser Permanente on Zion Avenue.

“I wasn’t expecting that because I usually just get my meds and go home,” said La Mesa resident Kalen Letman. “They put something on the paper they weren’t supposed to.”

Letman alerted 10News to the potential HIPAA violation.

“I’m like, this is not right,” he said. “They’re not supposed to do that.”

10News did not take the papers from Letman but showed video of the papers to Kaiser’s Senior Communications Specialist. She later sent 10News the following statement.
