Hammer:
There's no violation of HIPPA. when you signed up for insurance from your employer you authorized the release of information to the insirance carrier so the claim could be processed.
The insurer sends a quarterly report to the employer to justify the current cost of the policy. Every claim and the DX of every employee and their families is enumerated.
As the CFO I saw the reports.
Up in Boston there is a big computer called the BMI. The Bureau of Medical Information. Every claim you ever made is in the big box.
I know corporate executives that have gone on "vacation" and had heart surgery and never filed a claim. A DX of a heart condition would kill their careers.
Just the way it is.
