Remember that every time you use your insurance company for payment, they systematically collect the diagnostic codes and any medicine you are obtaining ( if the insurance company is helping pay for them). They also have the right to withhold payment until they audit your medical note. This is a rare event. At docto k r ® we never release the medical notes to insurance companies without your verbal and in some cases written consent. Our policy is that you paid us for the care and therefore the information for the visit belongs to you.

This information can be used in the future to stratify your risks should you ever be looking to apply for health insurance in the future. Claims adjusters have access to this file when they are trying to decide if you merit getting insurance. |
