Frequency of convictions for lying on FAA medical form

The issue is will the commercial entity [insurance company,
HMO, or other] turn your records over to the FAA.

That's a different story. The assertion was that the insurance
company was going to not pay a claim based on a supposed misstatement
on the FAA medical application. Ain't going to happen. All the
policy says is I have the certificates. If the insurance wants
to use that excuse not to pay, they'll have to wait for the FAA
to revoke 'em first.

Yes, that is my main concern. As far as insurance goes, frankly, I hope to
God I never get into an accident, and if I do, I'm more worried about my
health and the health of others than the financial bit. Of course, losing
all I own is a close second.

Ask Rush Limbaugh about medical privacy.

If there is an accident and the FAA begins an investigation
and that investigation raises a medical condition, then the
FAA would probably seek your medical records. Unless you
have signed a release, the private companies should not
divulge your records beyond strict limits. But you may have
signed some release or you may find that your insurance
company will be sharing financial amounts with other
insurance companies, but not "private" medical info. But
what the FAA can determine, combined with a forensic lab
test is just a guess.
