Does Hipaa Apply To Disability Insurance Carriers? 
Does Hipaa apply to disability insurance ? Not sure how you mean it , but in some ways yes it does . The insurance company that you are applying to will have you sign off on a HIPAA form that gives your permission to the insurance company to contact your doctors and other medical services to gain information for underwriting purposes . As far as the insurance companies themselves , they have always operated under privacy laws set up by their industry . The HIPAA form is a bit of a redundancy as it applies to insurance .
