Derek Logan :
No, a manager asking what type of surgery you had is not a HIPAA violation, because HIPAA regulates healthcare providers and insurance plans, not employers.However, while it may not violate HIPAA, pressing an employee for a specific medical diagnosis or the exact nature of a surgery can cross lines under other employment laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Generally, employers are only entitled to know the dates/duration of your absence, whether it qualifies as a serious health condition, and any necessary return-to-work restrictions—not the specific medical details. You are typically not required to share your exact diagnosis or procedure type.So I can give you the best guidance for your situation, are you:Requesting medical leave (like FMLA or sick time)Asked out of the blue by a manager without formal paperworkTell me your situation, and I will outline what you are legally required to disclose to your employer.

when you ask for time off by law you don't have to tell them why you need it.

Wrong. It's HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Medical leave should not need to be approved. You inform them that your doctor has said that you will need to be out for extra amount of time and that’s it.
