Can the results of a MMPI 2 ordered of the plaintiff by the defense attorney be made public?

A friend won a lawsuit against a company he worked for. The damages portion of the case is separate from the liability portion. The defense attorney ordered my friend to undergo a MMPI2 (psychological evaluation) and consequently released John's results publicly. Is that legal? Or is it an invasion of John's privacy? Joh is now getting reasonably a bit of heat from the results. Did the defense attorney violate his HIPAA rights?
Answers:
Attorneys don't have everything memorized. I would requirement to read HIPAA, and perhaps find some cases to really figure this out. However, HIPAA collectively applies to health care providers.
A defense attorney cannot charge anyone to do anything. That's just not the way it works.

If your friend be ordered to undergo a psych evaluation then it be the judge that so ordered.

HIPPA does not apply in such a satchel, but it is *usual* when a judge orders a psych eval for him also to require the party to keep it confidential. John needs to read the idiom of the order.
