UPDATE:
DC COALITION FOR CONFIDENTIALITY
Danille Drake
The District of Columbia confidentiality law mandates that clinicians share only the most essential data with insurance and managed care companies. Not surprisingly, these companies have lobbied vigorously for a change that would give them access to more information, while our coalition of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers has worked to protect what we see as our clients’ confidentiality interests.
The controversy is now in the hands of the DC Insurance Commissioner, Larry Mirel; we are awaiting his decision about adopting a proposed treatment plan form, pending input from both sides' attorneys. We expect there will be a follow-up meeting in the near future to discuss the form before it can be finalized and published.
Danille Drake is the GWSCSW liaison to the DC Coalition for Confidentiality; representing the interests of clinical social workers in the Commissioner’s discussions.
