I cant go into major details because of job rules here but what I can say is through situations like domestic violence court cases, child abuse cases, adult abuse cases I have had to contact other states for background checks of various kinds. the ones I stated that they do show up on in my previous post is what I have experienced personally on having to perform and it does show up regardless of which state I contacted.

in my personal life to apply for one of the jobs I have now a full background check (credit, criminal, medical / mental) it did show up even when I was police transported while on vacation in another state to the hospital, that transport was medical not mental but it still showed up on my report when the job sent a background check form to them for a "complete history" of any events where the police were involved....

my point a "full background check" is different than just a criminal background check.. a criminal background check only asks the police departments nationwide whether you have been.......convicted..... of a crime.

a full background check wants to know any and all situations in regards to anything that the person doing the background check is looking for. its more specific and outlining on the form exactly what the person doing the background check is looking for...

example someone who is applying to be a teacher better not have a history of any encounters with the police in regards to sexual abuse, so a criminal background check asks if the person has been......convicted..... of a sexual crime.. where as a full background check (meaning full disclosure) the form asks if the person in question has had any encounters with the police in regards to sexual activity with children or adults.

see what I mean... background checks are no longer the simple has this person committed a crime or not and so on. thanks to the new president we have new standards for background checks. that are more detailed\ specific.

NY is a sanctuary state so on .....some..... things NY can get away with not disclosing but many other states have to at least disclose whether someone was police transported to a hospital and what hospital if the form asks that question.

HIPPAA covers protections for health insurance, meaning health insurance cant drop someone off their plans for losing their jobs or having a pre existing condition. makes the USA health department have uniform standards for processing online payments that are secure, and a database where patients can look up their own records with a password, Tax related provisions, ...

where actual medical/ mental health records are concerned it......limits the use and disclosure. it does not ....hide.... the records. it basically says treatment providers can not use whats inside of a patients file for disclosing to their family and friends and the general public that patents health problems but "still allows relevant health information to flow through proper channels."

what is protected in the files is patients name, address, social security number, their health conditions, information of payment plans that identifies the patient (credit card numbers, bank numbers....)

whether a person went to a hospital is just one of those things under public records, anyone can call a hospital with their friend or family member and say I am looking for so and so have they been admitted and when and the hospital will look up on their computer and say yes they are in room what ever or no they have not been admitted since such and such a date.

many newspapers have a section in their newpaper called "for the record" "lifestyles" or divided by town names which lists names of people who have been arrested or hospitalized, graduated, got married, gave birth, died.... all these things are called public records. open to anyone.

another thing to think about... many employers use things like twitter and facebook now to do part of their background checks... someone posts on their facebook page they were hospitalized and why its considered open to the public. all an employer (or anyone else) needs to do is go on social media sites and type in the search bar the persons name, and what ever they are looking for like the word hospital and all the posts regarding that person and hospitals that the person posted since joining that social media site comes up.

my point if someones background check includes looking for whether a person was hospitalized it will show up in one form or another.
