This search returns
medical records for personal use, insurance
companies, attorneys and other qualified users. Peoples
medical information does not only reside at their Doctor's
office. Today, individual health and medical data is collected,
collated, stored, analyzed and distributed in unprecedented
quantities and put to diverse uses. Payers can not only tap
patient data for claims payment; they use it for utilization
review, underwriting and coverage decisions. Employers use
health data to reduce their health care and workers compensation
costs, as well as to identify employees who may be costly in the
future. Health care providers use the data for research, to
collect reimbursement, coordinate diagnosis and treatment,
conduct quality assurance and monitor other providers.

from generation to generation to your kids and grand kids as
your medical information.

Who has my medical records?
Doctors, Healthcare facilities and some government agencies generally have
your medical record. In addition the MIB also keeps your medical
record. Medical Information Bureau (MIB), an information
clearinghouse was founded by insurance companies to help them
reduce insurance fraud by sharing information. When you apply
for life, health or disability insurance, you provide medical
information on your application. In fact, each time you sign a
waiver on an insurance claim, you give permission to release
your medical information. This information may be sent to the
MIB. Because the Medical Information Bureau maintains data on
millions of Americans, mistakes and input errors can occur. Any
misinformation could have an affect on your ability to qualify
for some types of insurance. For instance, life insurance
companies may routinely access your personal medical profile
when they are determining your eligibility and rates. That's why
it make sense to examine your personal medical report to ensure
that it reflects only accurate information.
A great deal of medical-related
information on people also exists outside of healthcare facilities.
And the right to confidentiality is often
lost in return for insurance coverage. Your medical information
is shared by a wide range of people both in and out of the
health care industry. Medical records are created when you
receive treatment from a health professional such as a
physician, nurse, dentist, chiropractor or psychiatrist. Records
may include your medical history, details about your lifestyle
(such as smoking or involvement in high risk sports), and family
medical history. In addition, your records contain laboratory
test results, medications prescribed, and other reports which
indicate the results of operations and other medical procedures.
Medical information is also compiled when you fill out
insurance forms or marketing-related questionnaires. They commonly contain
sections that ask for a great deal of family health information.
Examples are the National Consumer Survey and the Consumer
Product Survey of America. Medical information is also compiled
when people visit health-related web sites, when participating
in online discussion groups and when people get memberships to
health clubs and other such activities. |
