New York Insurance Law § 2612 and Insurance Regulation 168 govern confidentiality protocols for victims of domestic violence and endangered individuals. The regulation states that if any person covered by an insurance policy issued to another person who is the policyholder or if any person covered under a group policy delivers to the insurer that issued the policy, a valid order of protection against the policyholder or other person, then the insurer is prohibited for the duration of the order from disclosing to the policyholder or other person the address and telephone number of the insured, or of any person or entity providing covered services to the insured.
Insurance Law § 2612 also requires a health insurer to accommodate a reasonable request made by a person covered by a policy of accident and health insurance to receive communications of claim-related information by alternative means or at alternative locations if the person clearly states that disclosure of the information could endanger the person. Except with the express consent of the person making the request, the insurer shall not disclose to the policyholder (i) the address, telephone number, or any other personally identifying information of the person who made the request or child for whose benefit a request was made; (ii) the nature of the health care services provided; or (iii) the name or address of the provider of the covered services. If a child is the covered person, then this right may be asserted by the child’s parent or guardian.
