Do we still need to seek patients authorization on M-450 I prior to providing information to a health insurance company to support claim for reimbursement?
(A) HIPAA and the DMH Privacy Practices permit disclosure for Payment purposes without a signed authorization. However, we will continue to use M-450I (at least for the immediate future, and in its current form) because of the need to have Consumer sign assignment of benefits to us, and at the same time get signed authorization to share PHI for Payment purposes. . .even though not needed for HIPAA.
