HIPPA protects you from your Doctor sending your medical records to someone without your approval. You can release your medical records to anyone and that is not a violation of HIPPA. What you do with your medical records is up to you but even "Delta's" doctor is not employed by Delta and Delta never sees those medical records, he just reviews them and gives thumbs up or down to Delta.
Call Contract Admin and ask them, I bet they have an answer for you.
