Default Conway already has your health history?

Due to the recent incentive of $5 off a week, Conway is asking for a physical and in exchange they will give you $5 a week off.

Well, just might be a chance that they can already get your info. Usually you sign a waiver at the doctor's off before you are treated and this lets your employer have access to your health records. It's called HIPAA:

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website, Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. Title II of HIPAA, known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. This is intended to help people keep their information private, though in practice it is normal for providers and health insurance plans to require the waiver of HIPAA rights as a condition of service.

The Administration Simplification provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the U.S. health care system


A nurse that I know stated that employers can get your health records.

The nurse works in a doctor's office and said that employers can get the medical info. But I'll check back to make sure.

Glad to hear from others about their thoughts on this or some more info.

The health insurance is paying for your medical expenses, so you can be sure they know your health info.

If they already have your info, why are they willing to pay to get it? And why do they want it? Will they use it to benefit you or themselves? $5 a week for a year just to fill out a survey sounds to good to be true, so it probably is.
