806b.17—Special provision for certain medical records.
If a physician believes that disclosing requested medical records could harm the person's mental or physical health, you should:
(a)
Ask the requester to get a letter from a physician to whom you can send the records. Include a letter explaining to the physician that giving the records directly to the individual could be harmful.
(b)
Offer the services of a military physician other than one who provided treatment if naming the physician poses a hardship on the individual.
