Requests for medical information isn’t uncommon but do HIPAA rules apply to an employer?
Union representatives may ask for medical information from employers for several different reasons – grievances filed, collective bargaining, etc. The employer needs to understand what their confidentiality responsibility is in that situation. This white paper reviews both HIPAA and non-HIPAA employer confidentiality obligations; as well as potential penalties.
