Want to hear something completely mind-blowing? I'm working on an issue regarding prescription drug benefit scoring. Whenever you fill a prescription, the pharmacy is required to share that information with certain entities, such as your insurance company. However, those entities then share it with data brokers.[0] Ever been turned down for health, or life insurance? Seen a premium spike? It could be because the prescription data brokers have rated you (based on your prescriptions) as a health risk. You cannot opt out of this. The only way to opt out is to never fill a prescription. Whenever you apply for any type of health or life insurance, these brokers (think credit score for health) report a score based on the medications you take, have been prescribed but not filled, and those you've filled. You have no idea what's in the report, but you can request your report if you've been denied.
