    That doesn’t answer the question. That says the person can be asked about their health but no one is required to comply.

      IANAL but as I understand it, in the USA an employer can require you to get a medical declaration that you are fit for the requirements of the job if they see evidence that suggests that you might not be. You are then required to get that declaration from your doctor and give it to your employer. HIPAA doesn’t apply but it could go before a judge to decide if you refuse to provide it.

        It won’t go before a judge or anything. You’re not “Required” to provide it. It’s just that if you don’t, you’ll likely be fired. But you don’t have to worry about being arrested at all.
