[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they have the right to view your medical records?

Do I consent to this at some point with some form in this process??[/quote]

I am not sure about this either. I don’t recall consenting to this anywhere in the SF-86. I thought all medical records had to be voluntarily provided due to HIPAA. I really don’t see how anyone other than explicitly named and authorized sources could get to my medical records. How would some contractor they hired to do my background investigation even know where to go? I’ve never named a doctor and I’ve been through multiple BIs.

I just think there’s a lot of hysteria on this thread. Either that or it’s VERY agency-specific.[/quote]

Its the government, they have access to anything.  You absolutely sign consenting for medical records.[/quote]

This is so blatantly untrue. Like someone said below, they can ask and if you deny, you can be denied a clearance. But no, the “government” does not have unfettered right to my private medical records. Are you insane? [/quote]

Be real, the government has access to everything.  They can look through your health insurance provider and other ways to find out who your doctor is but if you don't sign the release you probably aren't going to get a clearance. [/quote]

No they don't.

Have you been through a clearance process? I have a TS//SCI clearance, including a full-scope lifestyle polygraph. The government did not ask me for my health insurance provider and did not access my medical records beyond the scope of the questions I answered on my SF-86.

Stop it with your conspiracy theories. [/quote]

My spouse has one too and yes, he had to sign consenting to his medical records and many other things.  You probably didn't read the questions/consent carefully.  For updates, no but for the initial one yes.  [/quote]
