While MTs are not specifically HIPAA covered entities, we are covered by it because it pertains to anyone who handles medical records. That would be us all right.
If they had you sign a confidentiality agreement, then this is just silliness on their part. Having access to previous reports, even access to numbers of documents pertaining to one particular patient can be important for our performance, not to mention it can be critical to patient care! If you can't hear the difference between 5 and 15 and 50 on a medication, having access to several previous reports will give you somewhere to research this thoroughly. Besides which, you usually get paid more for the correct word than you do a blank. If you care about your work (and I can tell that you do) having 25 blanks in a half page makes you look bad, makes your company look bad, causes QA headaches, and the facility you are sending these back to can't be very happy either.
YIKES.
