Question

if an employer pays for a job - related physical examination, which of the following is true?
the physician always discusses the results with the patient.
the employer has rights to the medical records.
the patient is automatically sent a copy of the record following the examination.
the health - care facility own the records and the employer is only entitled to a summary of findings.

Explanation:

Under privacy laws like HIPAA in the US, medical records are generally the property of the healthcare provider, and patients have rights to their own records. Employers do not have unrestricted access to full medical records. The physician - patient relationship dictates that the physician should discuss results with the patient. While patients may be sent copies of records, it's not always automatic. Employers are usually only entitled to a summary of job - related findings.

Answer:

The health - care facility owns the records and the employer is only entitled to a summary of findings.
