My employer/a governmental entity recently decided to change medical insurance providers for its employees. In the process, we were provided an application with an abundant number of medical history questions, Illnesses, Physicians names: diagnoses, surgeries….etc. We were denied any information on the prospective carrier or any meeting with the agent for questions. The employees are directed to give this information to an untrustworthy/elected official for delivery to the insurance agent.
1) Requested the name of the insurance companies information numerous times but was denied
2 ) Requested to speak with an agent numerous times but was denied
3)I was not provided any alternative medical insurance coverage
Of course, I refused base on privacy and they canceled my medical insurance.
Question being,
Due to the Hippa privacy act did they violate my rights by placing me under duress demanding my personal medical information BY cancelation?
