Nondisclosure Of Private Health Information Outweighs Public Interest, Judge Says

COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio federal magistrate judge on Nov. 25 granted a disability insurer's request to file a plan participant's claim file under seal because the nondisclosure of the plan participant's private health information outweighs any public interest in the breach of contract and bad faith suit filed against the disability insurer (Barbara Cluck v. Unum Life Insurance Company of America, No. 18-56, S.D. Ohio, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 203849).
