Consent needed for disclosure of medical records during subrogation – lawsuit

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Dissent

Justin Quintana filed a potential class action lawsuit against Ingenix that’s of note here because many of us have probably been in automobile accidents where our insurance company pays our bills and then attempts to subrogate, or recover, from the other party’s insurance company.

In this case, Quintana alleges that Ingenix violated a number of Texas privacy laws by disclosing his confidential medical records to State Farm without his consent.

The case is Quintana v. Ingenix, and despite Ingenix’s efforts to move it to federal court under ERISA, it’s been remanded to state court.

h/t, A Georgia Lawyer.
