I have plenty of chemical dependency medical records, it has had zero impact on me at all (the records, not the chemical dependency). Heroin and alcohol.

Your medical records can only be viewed if you approve access, and employers are not allowed to ask for medical records. Foreign countries can’t see your medical records when you apply for a visa.

Possibly it could impact life insurance if you need to turn over medical records, but my life insurance policy was written after my drug abuse days so I don’t think it would matter.
