Doctors May Access Medical Records
Physicians and other health care practitioners have long been aware that knowing a relative's medical history can be enormously informative as far as the care of their patients. Accordingly, a doctor may make a request for medical records on another individual. HIPAA rules do not require that a physician be authorized by the estate to do so. Since doctors must already possess a sophisticated knowledge of the applicable privacy laws, HIPAA permits access to medical records for appropriate purposes.
