Can an insurance company give a list of your prescriptions to your ex-husband?
I just went to family court and my soon to be ex-husband presented a print out of medications I have been on over the past 7 years. Our insurance company provided him with this list.
Is this legal? I thought there were strict confidentiality laws regarding this!
That is definitely illegal in the UK. Even if the policy were a joint policy, your insurance company does not have the right to disclose personal information without your express permission.
Have you spoken to the insurance company?
there is the privacy act and i think its the ammendament of 1975 that says they cant u can sue if u wanted to its an absoult breach of your privacy no bueno girly!

Yes, if its his policy you are under.

No – that is a violation of HIPAA. Have an attorney send the insurance company a letter & copy your ex on it that states that it is a clear violation of HIPAA & that any further release of information will be subject to court action.
