No. I have never been diagnosed as dangerously mentally ill, nor incompetant. I’m saying I told them I go to therapy to control stressors in my life that contributed to me taking my ex’s Ativan once when I ran out of meds. I don’t want to get into what happened in the past, but it’s the same reason my mother and I haven’t spoken since 2001.
It’s really not all that uncommon for therapists to refuse an interview, and therefore investigators have to go and pull all the records. In my latest doctor’s case he was actually prevented from being interviewed by company policy. He found a way around it by putting my status and prognosis in his notes before they collected them.
Fwiw my investigator told me during my interview that (reading all records) never happens, but the investigator who came and got the new release from me said it happens all the time.
You’re misunderstanding HIPAA. If I sign off giving my express permission to give that ■■■■ over, they best as f. hand it over. If you don’t, you don’t get cleared. So it really doesn’t matter whether it’s “disclosable” or not. It’s my career on the line and I don’t have anything to hide.
