Who gets your test results?

[Randy]

If people have genetic testing or just some lab work done, who has the right to that information?

For example should healthcare companies and employers have access to that information?

 

[Jane]

The people that did the test and the person who was tested

 

[Nebulous]

The people that did the test and the person who was tested

I agree, its nobody else's business!

 

[PGen98]

The doctor that ordered the test and the patient. Completely confidential beyond that, no question.

 

[Nebulous]

Why would your employer need to know any of that information in the first place? As long as you can do your job that should be all that matters.

Completely! That's a violation of doctor/patient confidentiality there.

Should be between the patient and the doctor.
