I agree with the concept, but are they talking about centralizing health records? The online tool is private, health officials stressed. HHS would never have access to a person's family history, nor would any other entity. However, once a patient hands off that information to their physician, it becomes part of that person's medical record. While federal privacy rules ban the inappropriate distribution of private health information pertaining to patients enrolled in group health plans, there is a lingering concern that details of a person's record could be used to boost premiums or deny coverage. Congress may address such loopholes in the future.
