Maintaining your health can be a challenge, and paying for healthcare costs can make that challenge even harder. If you don’t get health insurance through your job, purchasing private health insurance can make a big difference to your budget. Privacy plays an important role. If you are in the Wenatchee, WA area, our team at Wenatchee Insurance Agency would like the opportunity to explain the benefits of health insurance.

Health Insurance and Your Privacy Rights

Today’s increases in technology use have brought many advantages, but they have also created opportunities for unauthorized access to personal information. Your health status and healthcare information are very personal. When you visit a healthcare provider, you don’t want to worry about whether your diagnosis, treatment, and medication information will be shared with anyone except the companies that need that information to work with you.

According to the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner, you have a right to privacy when it comes to your healthcare information. This means that your personal information can be shared only with sources that need to provide service to you. The same website assures you that you can have sole access to your healthcare information. Privacy is especially important for clients under the age of 18 who are legally entitled to consent to healthcare procedures, including procedures related to their reproductive rights.
