At work I often request medical records and am rarely asked for an ROI and when I do submit the general form my company uses which is not HIPAA complaint, I am rarely refused.There are certain companies who are very strict and will never violate HIPAA, but most will.

I have lied with my current job. My doctor gave me the diagnosis (two of them did) and I told them both they were wrong and used that as my rationale for lying, even though I know perfectly well I earned the diagnosis. I feel it was wrong for my employer to ask me. (It wasn't on the application, but we had to complete intelligence and personality testing and it was in there. My employer may not even have been notified, but if it was a question they were asking I would say it's obvious they use it to discriminate against applicants).
