Before you sign a medical records release for an insurance company, make sure you know exactly what you are authorizing. These broad authorizations can grant insurers access to your entire medical history, including old injuries and pre-existing conditions, which they may use to find alternative explanations for your current symptoms. It is important to distinguish between a request for your complete history and one limited specifically to your accident. Always read the fine print and ask questions if a form seems broader than necessary.
Have you ever double-checked the fine print on a medical authorization form before signing?
