Privacy at WorkIn order to receive payment then I have to provide proof of payment and an invoice with who, where and when I was treated. My insurance does cover most of the costs but my co-pays and medications are my responsibility. Thanks for the help, I have been trying to figure out what my employer is entitled to for information where HIPAA is concerned. I know that one other time I submitted a request for payment for a dentist bill and they called my dentist to verify the information. Apparently there have been problems in the past. |

Privacy at Work10 months ago I was diagnosed with DCIS, had a lumpectomy and radiation, and didn't tell anyone in my family. I live in a small town and work for a woman who does not have any discretion when it comes to this type of information and she will see anything I submit. I want to submit my portion of the medical bills for repayment through my health plan at work but do not want anyone there to be able to see my diagnosis. What can I do? I have since told my mother and some of my friends, I just don't want a bunch of people who don't really pay attention to me normally asking me how I am all the time. And I would like to keep the rest of my elderly family from knowing. I have a clean bill of health for the moment and feel very strongly about moving on. |
