What is the name of your state? Arkansas
I was recently involved in an automobile accident. The other driver's (who was at fault) insurance has sent me all of the forms to fill out. They are asking me to fill out a Hipaa release. I don't want someone going through all of my medical history. The Insurance representative assured me that she would only be looking for anything to do with a neck injury (which I've never had before), but by signing the Hipaa release form, it states that they can look through all of my medical history. The insurance is saying that if I don't let them, then they can deny the claim. Do I have to allow them to see all of my medical history or can I decide what they see and what they don't see? Thanks for your time.
