PERIOD
STOP POSTING CRAP THAT IS NOT TRUE
No I am talking about a request to view any and all medical records. It depends on the employer. Some ask for it, most do not. You need to read what you are signing. If it is a medical release, they can get everything in your medical file. You waive your right to HIPAA when the release is signed. Hence the term "release".
