Basically, when you sign SP 66, are you giving them permission to look at any record of your's protected under HIPAA, ie doctors visits, emergency room visits, and stuff like that? Or do they ONLY have access to mental health institution commitments and mental health adjudications? Do they have access to any and every prescription you have ever used? Do they have access to any and every hospital visit you ever made? Whats the deal?

 

Just asking for FYI.

I would assume they look up MIB info, (medical information bureau's.) Furthermore, in NJ and most other states, mental health records are kept at the NICS level as well, as this was changed after columbine.

Is there anyway for a person to perform this check themselves to see what comes up?

I just went to the hospital today to get my medical records for the last 10 years. I'll get my records from my Doc's office tomorrow. I'm pretty sure those will be the only ones that will show up. As of now, the hospital says they only have me for anxiety once. I think I may have seen my doc about it once also.

None that I am aware of for the MIB's. It is a burea that is maintained by the insurance industry and doctors to make sure people arent scamming the system. The Shrink's may have something different.
