(a) In general. When a request for access or amendment involves medical or psychological records and when the originator determines that such records are not exempt from disclosure, NACIC will, after consultation with the Director of Medical Services, CIA, determine:

1. (1) Which records may be sent directly to the requester and
2. (2) Which records should not be sent directly to the requester because of possible medical or psychological harm to the requester or another person.

(b) Procedure for records to be sent to physician. In the event that NACIC determines, in accordance with paragraph (a)(2) of this section, that records should not be sent directly to the requester, NACIC will notify the requester in writing and advise that the records at issue can be made available only to a physician of the requester's designation. Upon receipt of such designation, verification of the identity of the physician, and agreement by the physician:

1. (1) To review the documents with the requesting individual,
2. (2) To explain the meaning of the documents, and
3. (3) To offer counseling designed to temper any adverse reaction, NACIC will forward such records to the designated physician.
