Can my employer ask me this?
Jun. 22nd, 2006 12:36 pmCan my employer ask me detailed questions about my health, and require that I put my name on the form?
They claim the information is required so that they can get rate quotes for a new health insurance company. I've never heard of such a thing, and in the past, for any group health plan, I've only been asked age and gender.
I do not care to share my medical conditions or medications with my employer. Oddly, I'd probably mention any of it in passing conversation...but filling out a form with my name on it and listing everything seems...wrong, and likely illegal.
Someone please tell me that it really is illegal, and give me something to back it up.
Here is the list of questions.
