Domestic Violence Notice

New York Insurance Law §2612 domestic violence law provides victims of domestic violence with important protections. Illinois Administrative Code Section 2028 provides similar protections for victims of actual or threatened violence, including domestic violence. A victim, the legal representative of the victim or, if a child is the covered person, the child’s parent or guardian may request to receive policy information at an alternate address, telephone number, or other method of contact.

Upon delivery of a valid order of protection or a reasonable request for confidentiality, the insurer is prohibited (for the duration of the order or request) from disclosing to the policyholder or other person the address, telephone number or any other personally identifying information of the insured, of any person or entity providing health services to the insured, the nature of the health services provided, or any other information from which there is a reasonable basis to believe the forgoing information could be obtained.

If a child is a covered person, then the right established by this section may be asserted by the child’s parent or guardian. The full text of New York Insurance Law Section 2612 can be found on the New York State Legislature’s website. The full text of Illinois Administrative Code (Title 50: Insurance, Chapter I, Subchapter z, Part 2028) can be found on the Illinois General Assembly website.
