[QUOTE=Bobster Man]Well, there's no such thing as a health "record." You can have as many doctors as you want and the info is NOT collected into one central place unless you ask for it. Also, HIPAA laws prevent your health history info from being made public very easily, unless you choose to spread your biz or tell the wrong person.
However, if you do have health insurance, just drive to some urgent care place about 40 miles away where no one will recognize you. That's a much better option than trying to sneak into some lab check place near your home. Check your insurance card to see if you have a specific co-pay for urgent care, it's usually only $50-$75 on a lot of plans.
They can give you the urine and blood tests just like any other doctor and the results will be released only to you.
FYI - that do the administrative stuff at your health insurance company are liable for BIG federal fines if they tell someone "Big Bluff just got an STD test." For this reason, going to a specialty lab place is NO more "secure" than going to a doctor far from home. Most of those specialty lab places are for people who DON'T have insurance.[/QUOTE]
He said he was on his plan with someone else ... so that likely means a wife since most insurance only cover spouses and kids. Even if he goes way outside of town that "someone else" would still likely be able to log onto his plans website to see there was a claim paid or when they send out mail letting him know their portion of the claim paid that that "someone else" might open the mail first which will lead to questions he probably doesn't want to answer.
