The insurance company is entitled to a medical release that goes back two years prior to your first known treatment on the injured body part. So, if your current injury is to your right knee and it occurred on 1\/1\/25, but you had surgery on that knee on 6\/15\/05, then the release can go back to 6\/15\/03. But they don\u2019t get your left knee records. Insurance companies sometimes send out releases that cover all medical conditions. This is a violation of your right to privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the insurance company sends you an overbroad release, its because its hunting around for some excuse to deny your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WHAT CAN YOU DO?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Call an experienced workers compensation attorney for advice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keenan Powell has practiced Workers Compensation law in the State of Alaska for over 40 years and has dedicated her practice to Workers Compensation representing injured Alaskans handling hundreds of cases. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keenanpowell.com\/\">www.keenanpowell.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>All consultations are free.<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp; To make an appointment, call &nbsp;907 258 7663 or email <a href=\"mailto:keenan@keenanpowell.com\">keenan@keenanpowell.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know the signs of when the insurance company is going to cut you off?
