Authority to Obtain Medical Information and DMV Use of Medical Information

(1)

DMV is authorized by law, ORS 807.710 (Reports of persons with cognitive or functional impairment), to receive protected health information from covered health entities for the purpose of preventing injury which may be caused by drivers who are unable to safely operate a motor vehicle because of severe and uncontrollable cognitive or functional impairments. DMV is the state agency responsible for public health matters relating to the monitoring of drivers who may be ineligible for driving privileges because of a mental or physical disease or disability resulting in a cognitive or functional impairment that affects the driver’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

(2)

DMV will use the medical information provided by physicians and health care providers only to determine whether or not a person can safely operate a motor vehicle and is qualified for driving privileges, and for taking any action deemed necessary by DMV. The protected health information required to be reported by these rules is the minimum necessary to accomplish the purposes of ORS 807.060 (Eligibility), 807.090 (Establishing eligibility notwithstanding mental or physical condition or impairment), 807.350 (Cancellation of privileges), 807.710 (Reports of persons with cognitive or functional impairment) and 809.410.
