OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Refusing copies of reports to applicant for benefits.
- If the medical board of the Employees Retirement System determines that the examining physician has met the criteria of O.C.G.A. § 31-33-2(c) in recommending nondisclosure of medical records, prepared in the evaluation of a claim for disability retirement benefits, it is appropriate to refuse copies of those reports to the applicant who was examined. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-19.
