Consent to Disclose Arguably Relevant Medical Information Sample Clauses

Consent to Disclose Arguably Relevant Medical Information. In order to evaluate the merits of the grievance, the Employer requires access to the member’s relevant medical/claim files; specifically, the Employer requires all relevant information submitted to the ASO provider in support of the claim for LTD benefits, in addition to any and all other sources of medical information that may be available. To ensure that such disclosure is received in an expeditious manner, upon the member being notified that he or she has been unsuccessful at the final stage of the ASO provider’s appeal process, the member agrees to provide his or her consent to disclose the relevant documentation from applicable third parties to the Employer and the Union. Understanding the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of medical information, it is agreed that any medical/claim files shall be sent directly to the Employer’s Labour Relations representative and to the Union from the party in possession for review and further dissemination as necessary for the purpose of evaluating the merits of the grievance and obtaining instruction. For clarity, the medical information shall not be shared with any other individual other than those with the authority to decide the matter or as reasonably necessary to provide advice to those with such authority. The duty to disclose arguably relevant documents is ongoing in nature. Therefore, any arguably relevant document(s) not previously disclosed shall be provided to the other party as soon as possible following receipt. Nothing shall prevent the Employer from seeking an opinion on the information provided from a third party consultant or expert as deemed necessary and appropriate. Where the Employer intends to rely upon such opinion in support of its defence of the grievance, it shall provide it to the Union.
