A Minnesota family physician who is being investigated for the fifth time in the past 17 months by the state medical board for statements related to COVID-19, says the board is now requesting to see medical records of his patients who were prescribed ivermectin.
Dr. Scott Jensen received a notification from the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice two days before Christmas informing him of their request for the records.
“And last night, when I got home after shopping with the grandchildren, I have this letter from the board of medical practice,” Jensen said in a video on Dec. 24.
He added that the board said, “In your response, you indicated that you’ve prescribed ivermectin to some of your patients for treatment of COVID-19. Pursuant to the board’s investigation of this matter, please provide the following records … copies of medical records for the most recent three to five patients to whom you’ve prescribed ivermectin to treat COVID-19.”
The board cited Subdivision 3 of the Minnesota Physician Accountability Act that allows it to “have access to hospital and medical records of a patient treated by the physician under review if the patient signs a written consent permitting such access. If no consent form has been signed, the hospital or physician shall first delete data in the record which identifies the patient before providing it to the board.”

Perhaps those prescribed Ivermectin had Scabies. That is a labeled usage.
HIPAA hypocrisy.
Someone needs to file a RICO suit
Is it unlawful to prescribe it?
Notice at no point the the medical board care if the patients got better. F’ these m-f’s.
My doctor was willing to prescribe HCL for me “since I hoped to visit old friends in East Africa some day, and needed it as an anti- malarial drug.”
They’re evil.
“Come n’ get me coppers!”
Someone must be complaining?
This reeks of Keith Ellison.
Illegal and in violation of HIPPA Act of 1996 privacy regulations. This doctor should decline the request.
No, this is just the government stepping right between you and your doctor...a place they have no business.
This is egregious by the board. The physicians should lawyer up as if this is heading toward a disciplinary hearing the accused has a right to counsel. I hope the physicians fight this tooth and nail as although I might disagree with the treatment plan there is sufficient evidence to support off label use as a try.
The one thing I would encourage for understanding however is that this is not a violation of HIPAA. A regulatory boosts s demand the information and it is stated in hipaa law that compliance with a subpoena or request of regulatory agencies is not a violation.
This is however where a good physician plaintiff could be made and I with the physicians and their lawyers happy hunting with litigation.
This action does not violate HIPPA. The act specifically allows this and other transfers of information.
Behind the curtain of Obama care. Control the doctors with fear so more people will succumbed to the China virus and die as a result!! Crimes against humanity, pure and simple!!
please provide the following records … copies of medical records for the most recent three to five patients to whom you’ve prescribed ivermectin to treat COVID-19
The state board in Minnesota does not want doctors curing Covid. The monsters should be driven out of the state by the people. What is in the drinking water in that lunatic state?
Probably where you live, what Party you belong to, what doctor you visit. You get my drift? Privacy, my arse. All those papers we have to fill out is NOT about privacy. The C.L.O.U.D. owns humanity now! And who own the C.L.O.U.D. ?
Answer - NONE.
The medical board cannot demand a blanket release of private medical records.
