Your probation officer should not have access to your medical records unless you have signed a notice of consent. If you have not signed a notice of consent, and your PO is accessing your medical records, this is a HIPPA violation, a violation of Federal law, a felony, one you have not committed.

Does HIPAA protect the right to access medical records even if the medical bill has not been paid In other words can a medical provider deny access to your own medical records if you owe money?

HIPAA allows patient access to their own medical record, with very few exceptions. Failure to pay the bill is NOT one of those exceptions.Added: HIPAA restricts and prevents the dissemination of your medical records without your knowledge and approval. There is no provision within it which allows a medical provider to hold your records "hostage" until you pay their bill.
