Best Answer

Yes. A Covered Entity (CE -- the caregiver) may release patient records to their attorney for purposes of obtaining payment, in which case they are allowed to release the "minimum necessary" to allow the process to work. Also, they may release subpoenaed records.

Most WC claim forms have a notation that you allow your doctor to release medical information pertinent to the claim as well, so you may have authorized the release yourself without noticing it.
