as an employee, you have the right to request copies of your medical records. is this statement true or false?

The statement "As an employee, you have the right to request copies of your medical records" is true. Employees generally have the right to access their own medical records under laws such as HIPAA in the United States, which provides individuals with a legal right to see and receive copies of their medical information upon request. Employers cannot access full medical records without the employee's consent, and employees can request their own records for personal use or to provide to their employer if needed. In employment contexts, employers may request a doctor's report relevant to work fitness or accommodations, but the full medical record is confidential and cannot be accessed by the employer without explicit permission from the employee. Employees have rights to review and control access to medical reports obtained by employers, and employers must keep this information confidential. Thus, employees do have the right to request and obtain copies of their medical records, but employers' access to these records is limited and regulated to protect employee privacy.
