Lets see.............The number coming in is from a valid policy

has used the number on the back of the card to get to us. Now he
wants to find out why we denied the owner's claim. The *******!

Never said the laws made much sense. Under the healthcare privacy
laws, I could technically be on the hook for fines of up to $100,000 and
a couple years of jail time if I gave out information I shouldn't have.
So, I am not gonna deviate from the policy one little milimeter.
Although I have to admit I haven't seen anyone have to pay or do jail
time.
