Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 5014472, member: 8594"] You might be talking about something else. HR cannot share employee medical records with you (or information gleaned from those records) and likewise you can’t share their medical records. That’s because employers usually act as an intermediary for health insurance plans. But that’s not what we’re talking about in this instance. It’s unlikely Red or the coaches are getting access to player medical records. The player is seeing a doctor and relaying info to the staff. The player knows if he has a torn ACL or whatever. He tells the staff. The staff does not have a LEGAL obligation not to share that with whoever they want. If an employee tells you they have cancer, you can LEGALLY tell anybody else. Morally and ethically, you’d have a problem. And your employer might have rules against it, but HIPAA would not be involved. [/QUOTE]
