subject Re: case# ______ -- Fwd: question
Tammy,
In addition to my previous email, could you please clarify why this is even being escalated to the legal department in the first place. Your prior explanation actually seems to acknowledge that there is no legal requirement to report my SSN to my insurance providers. You said:
"I have confirmed with both Dana Young and our Benefit Compliance Team that TriNet is acting in accordance with expected rules and regulations set forth by our Benefit Carriers. In summary, it is the Benefit Carrier who is required to report to the CMS under this act not TriNet however, the Carriers are requiring us to assist them with data collection."
As I have mentioned, both of my insurance carriers acknowledge that they have no legal need for my SSN, and advise that Trinet may push a record update with a dummy or blank SSN.
Further, a "requirement" from your carriers to have my SSN is not legally binding, and does not allow you to disclose that information without my permission.
In closing, I am expressly requesting that Trinet remove my SSN from the records of my insurance providers as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Clay Shentrup
