Insurance won't cover tests without the "allowed" ICD codes for it. It's silly and just another part of the bureaucracy making things inefficient.



(see my comment suggesting disposable keys, like for crypto wallets: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20088758 )

If the "allowed" ICD code is linked to the public key, or in the worst case if the patient provides the disposable private key to the insurance for verification (along with PCI like rules forbidding this key to be stored, like credit card expiration date if I remember correctly) this couldn't happen.

It is gross negligence to keep these things together for longer than they need to be. Private data should be seen as a liability.
