Administrator rev ronin Posted June 20, 2023 Administrator Serious question: Is there a national clearinghouse one can contact if one suspects that a close family member of a patient is attempting to goad that patient into suicide, presumably to collect on a life insurance policy previously obtained for just that purpose, when the neither the patient or I knows through which company such insurance might have been obtained? Asking for a friend, of course. PM's welcome. Quote
sas5814 Posted June 20, 2023 Life Insurance Policy Locator (naic.org) Might be a criminal matter too though proving it would be very difficult. 1 Quote
Moderator ventana Posted June 20, 2023 Moderator This is likely a criminal act speak to legal counsel hippa is waived for patient risk of harm (may well fall under mandatory reporting) Quote
Mayamom Posted June 21, 2023 It was my understanding if the death is by suicide the life insurance policy is null and void. I could be wrong.... Quote

Mandatory reporter. Just have to have the thought, then report it. We are not the investigator judge or jury. I always feel better after reporting, it is no longer my worry Quote

Moderator ventana Posted June 25, 2023 Moderator Reviewed this thread. I think I would call local law enforcement and ask to speak to someone in charge. mask for a meeting at your clinic. have a written statement to provide to them your concerns. also provide an oral statement to officer. not sure their is anything more to do.

The clinician in question took other appropriate actions, based on the reasonable suspicions. Quote
