    HEPA is a hepatitis type. You mean HIPAA.
    Yes, your employer is allowed to know your medicines to determine if you are a risk to other employees, to clients, to the job itself, and to the safety around the building.
    The days of doctors just clearing a patient to go back to work are gone, because companies have liabilities too, and doctors only know what you tell them about your job.
