Comment on Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one?

  your not being arrested for not giving your PHI. You’re not required to do so.

  I don’t really understand what kind of distinction you are trying to draw. If the question is, can an employer require you to provide medical information as a condition of employment, in so far as it pertains to fitness to do the job, the answer is yes. You do not have a right to ignore this requirement of your employer. If you did they couldn’t fire you for non-compliance.

  Your employer can require you to start at a certain time, wear a specific uniform, or even to refrain from speaking about certain topics while on duty. You would not get arrested for violating any of these but that doesn’t mean they aren’t required of you as an employee right?

    I guess I have a different idea of what require means.

    In this you’re making a choice between getting a letter from your doctor, or finding another job. Neither looks like a requirement to me.

      I guess I have a different idea of what require means.

      That’s entirely possible. From what you wrote I think your definition of required is along the line of “that for which there is no possibility or option to avoid.” Is that accurate?
