Frequently asked questions

• Q: Does the personal health information I provide remain private?

  A: Yes, all three of Medico’s companies strictly follow the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It is a law that requires people who manage healthcare information to keep it private. Insurance companies must follow HIPAA privacy rules.
  
  To grant us permission to release your information to designated individuals, such as health-care providers, you will need to submit a HIPAA form. You can submit it one of two ways:

  1. Online: Click on “Member Login” at the top of this page and register for an account on our customer portal. Once you’re logged in, click on “Forms” in the menu. Select the HIPAA Authorization link. You will be able to fill in the form and submit it immediately.
  2. Mail: Download the HIPAA form from our Forms page, fill it in, and mail it to P.O. Box 10386, Des Moines, IA 50306-0386.
