It is true employers have NO access to medical records, but they do have a right to ask what meds your in in case of an emergency. I work for a major hospital and we adhere to HIPAA to the letter, they even share a office with us, yet I am required to list all meds I'm on every year just in case I ever need to get hospitalized or sent to ED. I take the risk and do not list all the meds as I honestly feel it is a violation of HIPAA too!
