  • Yeah, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act does not allow cops to access your medical records at all, unless they have a warrant. Even if they have a warrant, they can’t add or remove anything. No one at the hospital is going to tip off police; we want people to seek care without being afraid of the consequences. If the cops were involved in a car accident, they’ll have details from the vehicle registration. They’ll follow up when the patient is out of the hospital.

    TLDR the cops can’t fuck with your medical records, and if the hospital released records illegally whoever did it is fukd.
