getting medicine without records
Posted: 01-06-08 23:15pm
I would like to obtain a prescription medicine without it going on my medical record. I do not want to insurance companies to see that I ever took this medicine. I have a physician friend who can write me a prescription without an official office visit. Can I take this prescription to a pharmacy I usually do not use, pay cash to have it filled, and not have to worry about insurance companies ever finding out about it?

As far as I know, yes you can do that. I know a lot of people pay out of their pocket when seeing psychiatrists because they don't want a record of them ever going to see them. I am sure that those people pay cash for those meds for that same reason.I think the only way that insurance companies can find out is if they actually pay for it.

Correct!

There is not a "master file" avialable to everyone that tells everything that you have done, health insurance companies can only know what YOU give them access too.

Master File

Knowledge is power so here goes nothing.

I think your concern about the meds is a very valid one. Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you, but I agree with the cash thing.

As far as no “master file” unfortunately now a days you can probably find a file for everything. I am referring to your MIB file. The Medical Information Bureau is a master file that most insurance carriers use when evaluating your applications. Generally everything your insurance company knows the MIB knows. This is a good link on how to protect your personal medical information

The MIB section is section three.

Hope this helps.
