PART 1102_APPRAISER REGULATION--Table of Contents

 

Subpart C_Rules Pertaining to the Privacy of Individuals and Systems of 

            Records Maintained by the Appraisal Subcommittee

 

Sec. 1102.104  Special procedure: Medical records.



    (a) Statement of physician or mental health professional. When an 

individual requests access to records pertaining to the individual that 

include medical and/or psychological information, the ASC, if it deems 

it necessary under the particular circumstances, may require the 

individual to submit with the request a signed statement by the 

individual's physician or a mental health professional indicating that, 

in his or her opinion, disclosure of the requested records or 

information directly to the individual will not have an adverse effect 

on the individual.

    (b) Designation of physician or mental health professional to 

receive records. If the ASC believes, in good faith, that disclosure of 

medical and/or psychological information, directly to an individual 

could have an adverse effect on that individual, the individual may be 

asked to designate in writing a physician or mental health professional 

to whom the individual would like the records to be disclosed, and 

disclosure that otherwise would be made to the individual will instead 

be made to the designated physician or mental health professional.
