Medical - In confidence
My new employer offer Health Insurance as a benefit.
They have sent me an application form to fill in with a full detailed medical history, but then want it sent back to their HR department, rather than direct to the medical insurers.
Is it normal for the HR department to have full knowledge of your entire medical history, or is that something that would normally be entitled to be kept medical in confidence?
I do not have anything specific that I have any issue with them knowing, but just feel that they should not have the right to know every little thing about my medical background - am I being over sensitive?
