Information We May Collect and Use

In some cases, we may use an insurance support organization or an investigative consumer agency to collect information that we need. They may keep a copy of their report to us. They may also share its contents with others for whom they perform such services. These disclosures are made only as allowed by law and with appropriate authorization from you.

Confidentiality of Medical Information

You may have a special concern about the privacy of your medical information. We do not sell or rent to anyone your medical information; nor do we disclose it to others for marketing purposes. We only use and share personally identifiable medical information for the following purposes:

Information We May Disclose
