HEALTH INSURANCE & CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS Sample Clauses

HEALTH INSURANCE & CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. You should also be aware that your health insurance company may require disclosure of confidential information at times in order to process claims. Only the minimum necessary information will be provided, including diagnosis, the date and length of therapy sessions, and what services were provided. Generally, the billing statement and your company’s claim form are sufficient; however, sometimes more information regarding summaries or progress toward therapeutic goals is required. Although insurance companies claim to keep your information confidential, once it leaves my office I have no control over it.

HEALTH INSURANCE & CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. Please inform me if you wish to utilize health insurance to pay for services. You should be aware that insurance plans generally limit coverage to certain diagnosable mental conditions. You should also be aware that you are responsible for verifying and understanding the limits of your insurance coverage. Although I am happy to assist your efforts to seek insurance reimbursement, I am unable to guarantee whether your insurance will provide payment for the services provided to you. While I do not currently accept insurance directly, I can provide you with a copy of your receipt on a monthly basis, which you can then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, if you so choose. Disclosure of confidential information may be required by your health insurance carrier or HMO/PPO/ MCO/EAP in order to process claims. If you instruct me, only the minimum necessary information will be communicated to the carrier. I have no control or knowledge over what insurance companies do with the information submitted, or who has access to this information. You should be aware that submitting a mental health invoice for reimbursement carries a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy or to future capacity to obtain health or life insurance or even a job.

HEALTH INSURANCE & CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. Disclosure of confidential information may be required by your health insurance carrier or HMO/PPO/MCO/EAP in order to process claims you may submit. If you so instruct me, only the minimum necessary information will be communicated to the carrier. I have no control over, or knowledge of, what insurance companies do with the information I submit or who has access to this information. You must be aware that submitting a mental health invoice for reimbursement carries a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy or to future capacity to obtain health or life insurance or even a job. The risk stems from the fact that mental health information is likely to be entered into big insurance companies' computers and is likely to be reported to the National Medical Data Bank. Accessibility to companies' computers or to the National Medical Data Bank database is always in question as computers are inherently vulnerable to hacking and unauthorized access. Medical data has also been reported to have been legally accessed by law enforcement and other agencies, which also puts you in a vulnerable position. Since I do not xxxx insurance companies, you have the right to limit information which goes to an insurance company by not sending the information in.

I will need to have contact with the parent who has legal custodial decision making for medical issues before I see the child for therapy and obtain written consent for the child to participate in therapy from the legal custodian(s). My preference is to have contact with both parents before seeing the child unless other extenuating circumstances exist to prevent this from happening. • If the custodial rights change during therapy, I must be notified by the parent who previously had the custodial rights and require all modified and updated copies of the standing court order demonstrating the custodial rights. Failure to do so could lead to termination of the therapeutic relationship. • I will be available to provide an interview with guardian ad litem (XXX) assigned to investigate the best interest of any child that I am providing therapy to, upon production of a court order demonstrating the GAL’s right to examine your child’s clinical record or speak with me. Otherwise, the adult client or parents of the child will need to sign a release for me to speak with the GAL. The client will be charged a full session fee...
