Whilst you may have only ‘ticked a box’ what was the wording that explained what the tick was granting access to?RogerS":1bltltdk said:Right. Apparently there are two levels of access. This from the GoCompare website..
1) Insurers CANNOT access your medical records without your consent
2) If you authorise it doctors can pass relevant medical information on
3) Some insurers may ask for your authorisation through a subject access request - this may result in ALL your medical records being disclosed rather than just things considered relevant
The key wording is 'subject access request' and is clearly what the surgery supplied them ie all of my medical record. A fishing trip, to my way of thinking. I've looked at the documentation that I agreed to and nowhere does it use the phrase 'subject access request'.
A question for both my surgery and the Data Commissioner's Office.
Have you kept a copy of the application form Roger?
And of course one of the real kickers can be if you apply to another firm and they ask if you’ve ever been refused insurance before!
