I recently got a new job. my new insurance just gives me the creeeps, on a RX claim or mail order form, it says the following
"i authorize the release of information [what information?] to your plan sponsor, plan admin, health care providers [my other docs?], and employer??????"
do i have no legal rights to modify this, i honestly can't believe that something like this can show up on an RX claim form, and i scoured the net and have found almsost nothing on what rights we have (if any) to limit information sharing by our insurance companies to only what is absolutely necessary.i was going to x out there clause and rewrite it saying "with prior notification of the insured" or "as is related directly to this claim"
how can these companies operate like this???
i am really pisssed, its 3 AM, i have work tommorow, and now i have to worry about my employer and all my doctors knowing about every single med i take, i cant believe this, say it aint so, say i can do something!!!! even overseas, right now prices of the meds i take are just too high.
someone tell me i have a right to limit them on how they share information. if not i cant believe that this is going on without most ppl knowing or caring
arggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
