Opening her mail is not a HIPAA violation, the pharmacy or any other medical provider giving her medical information to her ex if he calls them is.

Stepdad carries the insurance on Mom, he can easily get access to her prescription meds. He can just as easily stop her prescriptions by dropping her from is insurance which would force her to get her own insurance coverage and would give her the privacy she wants.
