Regarding my insurance co. new case worker wanting to do a telephone “interview”, due to my anxiety over this (PTSD too triggers after huge car accident dealing with these people) I’ve asked her if I can give written medical updates. Previous worker let me do this. Is there anything legally I can say to protect myself such as: the interview will be under duress so it can’t be used against me, OR the interview via phone will set back my recovery/damage me (it does as I have been bed-ridden over the anxiety over thoughts of her trying to trick me into saying something that will be used against me), OR can I request the questions in advance so I can be prepared? This has me concerned because I asked what the difference between an “interview” and a medical update was, and she said she needed to talk on the phone, and that I couldn’t just send the updates in writing, so then WHY is the interview required, if it’s not simply a medical update? Her statements are conflicting. It seems it is not in my best interest, so why do I have to do it? I understand I must comply with what they want, but if she said it was for medical updates, then why won’t they take that in writing? What can I say legally to protect myself?
