digi1024 3 Posted May 15, 2017 If I choose not to tell anyone at work is there any way Human Resources can find out what I had done ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FabNFit@40 52 Posted May 17, 2017 No, I have worked in HR before and unless the doctor writes the type of surgery(most use medical codes) in your FMLA paperwork, they will not know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but all it takes to find out the surgical procedure is a basic Google search. Just type "CPT" (Current Procedural Terminology) and the procedure number; example: CPT 43773 is "Laparoscopy, surgical, gastric restrictive procedure". The CPT # will most likely have a modifier added to differentiate the various restrictive procedures (Band, VSG, ESG, Duo-Switchn etc.) HR should not have access to HIPAA protected medical records submitted to the company's insurance provider or division. The Healthcare provider/Surgeon and facility should be filing the insurance claim directly which would bypass the HR Dept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
