he needs to have some one sign a release of info he needs to sign too saying that he is okay with you knowing about his health info. ask the doctors office you see to help you fill one out. that should take care of hippa laws. the form only covers those who are listed on it so lets say his daughter was on the form and you were not that is why you can not gain access to the records because he did not sign your permission. hope that helps!
