If an employee at McDonalds needs to get a drug test done, they sign a form to OK it.
The med express tests their piss for drugs, then tells McDonalds that the employee had drugs, or had no drugs in their system.
They DO NOT tell Mcdonalds that the employee had weed, crack, mushrooms, or anything else in their system, even if they did. THAT is PHI, which is protected by HIPAA. That is what is NOT shared. That is NOT what the third party is going to be told

Likewise, if you want to buy a gun, you should sign off that you are going to take a mental evaluation.
The Phych doctor tests you, then tells the dealer that YES you are mentally sound to own a gun, or NO you are not mentally sound ti own a gun.
They don't tell the dealer that you are depressed, schizo, violent, racist, have multiple personality disorder, are retarded, or anything else you may have. THAT is PHI, which is protected by HIPAA. That is what is NOT shared. That is NOT what the third party is going to be told
And if anyone wants to be damned to report me for hijacking the thread or being off topic, I am replying to the comment of mental health evaluations for gun ownership, with examples that already exist in the real world. I'm not off topic
