Protect service members’ private medical records

DelBene joined a letter to the Department of Defense demanding answers about reports that it accessed and used service members’ private medical records, including therapy notes, to identify transgender personnel for separation. The letter seeks transparency about the use of those records and asks how the Department will keep any HIPAA-compliant disclosure of health information limited. DelBene said service members’ medical information should be protected and not used against them.

Context: This was a joint oversight letter seeking answers about reported conduct; the passage does not establish that the reported access occurred or specify a new rule or enforcement mechanism.

In their own words

Service members deserve to be able to trust that their private medical information is protected and will not be used against them
