> 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
