No that can only be done by the courts.
A little more...As it says above, your employer cannot force you to release medical records. However, they can insist that certain tests and conditions exist (or don't exist) as a condition of employment. Barring very special cases (like HIV/AIDS which is sometimes protected under State law), this is legal.Wiki User
