Alaska Statutes.

Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation

Chapter 30. Alaska Workers' Compensation Act

Section 107. Release of Information.

AS 23.30.107. Release of Information.

(a) Upon written request, an employee shall provide written authority to the employer, carrier, rehabilitation specialist, or reemployment benefits administrator to obtain medical and rehabilitation information relative to the employee's injury. The request must include notice of the employee's right to file a petition for a protective order with the board and must be served by certified mail to the employee's address on the notice of injury or by hand delivery to the employee. This subsection may not be construed to authorize an employer, carrier, rehabilitation specialist, or reemployment benefits administrator to request medical or other information that is not applicable to the employee's injury.

(b) Medical or rehabilitation records in an employee's file maintained by the board are not public records subject to public inspection and copying under AS 40.25. This subsection does not prohibit

(1) the reemployment benefits administrator, the board, or the department from releasing medical or rehabilitation records in an employee's file, without the employee's consent, to a physician providing medical services under AS 23.30.095 (k) or 23.30.110(g), a party to a claim filed by the employee, or a governmental agency; or

(2) the quoting or discussing of medical or rehabilitation records contained in an employee's file during a hearing on a claim for compensation, or in a decision and order of the board.
