is it legal for health insurance to send an ex-husband my health insurance cards, without my knowing about it?

No i don't think so. Because he can do things that you wouldn't want him to.

Go see an attorney immediately. It sounds as if you are a victim of identity theft. Your state medical board by all means DOES have a record of it, as they are required by law. Go see your attorney immediately.

Because to them there is no such thing as 'your credit and his credit' until you're legally divorced. It's a joint account to them. If I were you, I'd call them and cancel the card, and any other card that he may have jointly with you. (Any card that you both signed for),\nTell them you want to cancel the joint accounts, or have your name removed it. I'd close them though, just to make sure no one at the company gets confused and expects you to pay for his stuff.\nYou may or may not want to tell them you two are separated. I'm not sure about that. \nJust try canceling the card first without telling them and see if they'll close it. If they won't, then tell them you're separated and not responsible for his debt. Then, get a lawyer quickly. I've seen a case not long ago where a man ran up $30,000 in debt in his wife's name and caused a big ugly scene.  She eventually won in court, but man, it was ugly!

This sounds like a terrible story, but is there a question in it somewhere?\n\nEDIT: Okay, let's try to figure out what the question is.  Are you trying to figure out how you can get your daughter back from your ex-husband?  If that's it, you really ought to talk to a lawyer...maybe you can find a decent one through the Bar Association that will do some pro bono work.  If you just aren't interested in working with lawyers, and you really want to involve this group in something as personal as this, you're going to have to post more details...and more *relevant* details (stick to the facts, ma'am).\n\nIf you want better answers, ask better questions and include more of the important details.  Things people might want to know are these:\n\nAre there any court orders right now?\n\nWhat state do you live in?\n\nWhy did your ex take your child, or at least why do you think he did or what did he tell you?\n\nHave there been any allegations of improper parenting on either side?  Any mental health issues on either side?  Drug use?  \n\nIf I'm guessing correctly at what you want to know, I just don't think you're going to be able to get the answers you need in this forum.

It is not a South Carolina law, or any other State law, which protects every individual's privacy... it is Federal law.  Your financial privacy AND your spouse's financial privacy is protected, and creditors who provide information to ANYONE other than the debtor can get in serious legal trouble.\n\nHowever, you or your spouse can provide a creditor with written permission to discuss financial details about your accounts.

I think it would be a form of fraud by her on the business involved (she is ordering things without the intent of paying for them); and perhaps identity theft as well, and forgery of your husband's signature.  So criminal charges could be filed, if you think you can provide evidence that she did it.

Not unless he adopted your son & that would require your permission. Check with your attorney or Social Security Office, take copy of divorce papers to prove you have joint custody.\nShe hasd no legal right to block your contact from his # & broke the law if collecting double payments.

Well, technically a wife does gain some rights to act on her husband's behalf when they marry.  But those rights are spotty and open to interpretation.  What's more, some people you deal with may let the spouse act and some may not.\n\nSo the far better practice is to just execute mutual durable general powers of attorney.  A lawyer can draw these up and make sure they're correctly executed for a really reasonable cost.  Then you don't have to worry about whether she does or doesn't have a power or whether it will or won't be recognized; you've got peace of mind at a decent cost.\n\nWARNING:  Many states will not recognize a general power of attorney as being sufficient to make life-end medical decisions for your spouse.  You will have to execute a separate health care proxy/living will.

You need to contact you local Health and Human Services Dept in your town or contact the Government. Basically your local welfare office will assign this card to you. You can also ask your ob/gyn and their supposed to have this info available to you upon request.\n\n\ngo online and type in your state.com (www.kansas.com) or org (www.kansas.org) depending on where you live and type in hr on a search engine.

I wouldn't think so.  I got married last July 05 to be on my fiance's health insurance due to getting cut off from my mother's health insurance due to turning 24 yrs old.  We're having another Wedding ceremony in May 06 with our immediate family members since they weren't invited to our Marriage License ceremony (down at the Clerks Office/Courthouse) in July.

Try using your health insurance.  call the number on the back of the card, or use the provider directory.  also, are you sure you're spelling his first name right?  Garome?  Or Jerome?

You need to give more information. What was this written on? What do they say is excepted from disclosure? Etc.\n\nEdit: That would all depend on the forum the complaint was made in. If the complaint contains personal information about your ex-daughter-in-law (which it probably does), it could be excepted for that reason. They may eventually release an edited version for you. Whoever sent it to the AG probably knows what they are doing. You may want to speak to a lawyer about it though.

One must remember that the mail is delivered by the USPS, which while run as a business is a governmental entity.  This means it is protected from lawsuits unless Congress allows them.  I don't think this is an allowed area, but could be wrong.\n\nNext even if it is allowed you would have to prove it was him who did it.  The information could be obtained from a mailing list or other information available on the web.  Next the postal agent can ask if there's a person there by such a name to deliver mail to.  Doing so violates no law, and is designed to ensure mail is delivered only to the person it is supposed to be.  Once asked the rental agent could ask questions thinking someone might be there.  A mail carrier will always be free to ask if someone who has mail addressed to them actually lives at a certain location.  \n\nBottom line, even if a suit were allowed, there is no way to show the information wasn't discussed in the normal process of ensuring mail delivery to it's reciepent.

No.  You are not entitled to ANY information regarding the financial activities of anyone else.  His privacy is protected... just like yours is.

HIPAA requires your insurer to give you a notice of your privacy rights and tell you that your records might become subject to disclosure through a court order, etc.  your state's general laws would determine when your records could be subpoenaed or otherwise disclosed.  the state insurance department, for example, generally can ask your insurer for any records it has on you and the insurer must respond.  \n\ndon't forget the federal anti-terrorism laws.  if the gov't thinks you are an "evil doer", it can send your insurer a letter demanding your records, without a court order, and your insurer must give them and can't tell you the gov't asked for them.\n\ngood luck!

Not unless the company who issued the policy makes this knowledge public. If you have this kind of worry..perhaps a private investigator would be good idea..and have him check up on the person or person you suspect of having the policy

The minute you used the card after your husband passed away you, in essence, affirmed that you would be responsible for the debt.\n\nAs your husband's survivor and probably the only person to benefit from his estate, either the estate or you personally would be responsible for this debt.\n\nSo no matter which way you look at it, you need to pay it, or make the determination to file bankruptcy.  There is no in between
