The image is a text-based graphic, resembling a "hack" or tip, presented in a list format with numbered points. The background color is a light pastel green. The graphic begins with the heading “MEDICAL HACK: So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.” Below this, a numbered list provides instructions: "Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the “HIPAA Compliance/Privacy Officer” (By federal law, they have to)." "Then ask for the NAMES as well as CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make decision of denial. By law you have a right to that information." "They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at “criteria words,” making the medical decision to deny your care. Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and they DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!" "Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil Rights (OCR.gov) as a HIPAA violation.” The graphic is signed “~BAA, RN” at the bottom. The overall tone suggests a method to navigate insurance denials by leveraging patient rights.
