If a Soldier's record contains psychotherapy notes a request to review their medical record can be denied.?

Yes, a Soldier's request to review their medical record can be denied if it contains psychotherapy notes, as these notes are protected under confidentiality laws and regulations. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) allows for certain information, particularly mental health records, to be withheld to protect patient privacy. This ensures that sensitive psychological information remains confidential, allowing Soldiers to seek care without fear of exposure.
