Speaking Up for My Rights
I just got a call from someone who said they were calling to schedule a test my doctor ordered. The phone number showing was from a hospital 80 miles away I last went to in 1986. They wanted my name, address and date of birth. They refused to give me the doctor name or name the ordered test until I gave them ALL my information (which they already had). I have MyChart and consented to electronic communication. The company chose not to allow this low risk non-invasive test to be scheduled via MyChart. Big corporation forcing me to give up all my privacy rights in order to protect theirs because, you know, there’s an off chance someone else could answer my phone pretending to be me and schedule a medical test. Either give me access to schedule or respect me enough to make this less one-sided.
