Post: HIPPA violation?

Posted by Amy on 4/11/06
I was recently off work for a minor procedure. It was not related to my work. My doctor wrote me a return to work slip over a week agostating that I could return to work on regular duty with no restrictions. My employer will not let me return to work unless I have my doctor provide them with copies of all records showing what my medical problem was, all tests, and treatments. I do not feel that this is legal. My condition was not work related and was NOT a workers comp case so why do they have any right to ask all of this?
