Many state medical boards have the right to request the original record of a patient. You need to confirm with your state if they have this access as they do in Ohio. Be sure to confirm the identity of the investigator and make a copy prior to releasing the chart. As for a police officer, DO NOT release any information without a confirmed court order. Do not be intimidated or badgered into giving them access.
