I’m 22 and had an abortion procedure in NYC, a few days ago. I previously spoke with aetna about making sure my dad would not be able to receive my information of the appointment however when I called today they told me that because he is the primary account holder all of my claims and eobs will show up on his monthly statements, i can not even see any of my own eobs from my account.

I thought there was a way to have a confidentiality request and get it rerouted but when i spoke with a lady today and was only hold 3-5 times while she talked to her supervisor and the conclusion she same to was “the only thing you can do is have your own insurance”.

I’m very nervous because I don’t want my parents to find out about this. I thought for sure for reproductive cases like this I HIPPA would be protected but she said the only thing that HIPPA protects is direct diagnostic information but the procedure name, code, date, location, etc will still be visible. I’m so confused.
