Re: Is my employer's insurance company entiltled to view my medical records?
If you have a stress claim, then the insurance company is entitled to your pyschological history. Please be aware that stress claims are routinely denied anyway. However, just because an insurance company denies a claim, the matter is not closed. The worker's compensation appeals board judge determines the validity of a claim. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insurance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insuance companies have attorneys, why don't you??
