<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ridgeline, post: 9508394, member: 77050&quot;]Everyone covered under us dot/fmcsa regulations are exempt from hipaa protection. It is right in the law and it is meant to allow investigators and regulators access to medical records for determination of the ability to operate vehicles that fall under us dot/fmcsa regulations. </p><p><br /></p><p>People don&#039;t seem to understand what hipaa is about and how it is applied.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is to protect your medical information in the providers care. Outside of that, there is no protection. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an owner, I have a responsibility to keep records to prove you - the driver - can drive and it really goes beyond the fmcsa regulations. Courts have said we have to keep accurate records.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a driver, you can&#039;t lie. On the other hand the examiner can contact your primary care or specialist physicians to discuss your case to see if you qualify. With the new regs, this may be getting to the point that they have to contact your pcp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
