Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 -Yes this would be considered a law issue. Unless you signed a release stating they could send any and all information. If you didn't sign a release then they broke the HIPA confidentiallity law.It may have been a true slip up, but they still broke the law.Hope it works out in your favor.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 There is nothing to worry about. It’s been blown out of proportion.

I had a patient come in for treatment due to an exacerbation of their condition. Their accident was in June 2011. They received treatment for 3 months. They came in again in December for an exacerbation for 2 visits. State Farm (her insurance) sent an explanation of review stating that because they settled with the 3rd party, State Farm will no longer be paying for treatment. We spoke to the adjuster and she is refusing to pay (regardless of explaining House Bill 2369). I thought that this bill clarified that the primary PIP cannot stop payment for treatment for 1 year. I know they can IME, but they are just denying it. Is there a way to make the insurer pay?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've not heard of it in this area. But did hear of it back east and in the midwest, when I met with presidents of all the licensing boards at a FCLB/ NBCE meeting. Minga Guerrero DC abowoman@... House Bill 2369 Hi All!
