Can medical Insurance companies share information about the patients with out the patient's consent? |
When a person changes Medical Insurance, does the first and second insurance company have the right to give information about you to each other? Is it up to the state? How does the HEPA law fit in? I am beginning to believe that the primary concern of insurance companies is to get rich, even if it means their clients die or become homeless. Look at the victims in Missisippi and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I know we need insurance but it is a nessasary evil. P.S buy insurance when you are age 18. It is SO much cheaper. The price seems to double every time you become 5 years older. The law is HIPAA. If you filled out an application, it is most likely that you gave permission for the insurance company to proceed with underwriting your application for health care. Did you read the fine print? It is not legal for that information to be shared for business purposes without your consent. I have never seen an application that does not ask for consent. The insurance company can't share MEDICAL information without your consent. Non-medical information, such as late payments, would fall under different laws. As the first answer said, the paperwork you signed probably granted permission in the fine print. Actually, it is usually not fine print. It is usually a separate form most people sign without reading. |
