Disability Inquiries

Meaning

In the context of employment and corporate wellness programs, Disability Inquiries refers to the legally permissible and non-permissible questions an employer or program administrator can ask a participant regarding their specific medical conditions, functional limitations, or history of disability. This clinical-legal intersection ensures that health-related information, especially concerning chronic hormonal or metabolic conditions, is handled in strict compliance with anti-discrimination laws like the ADA. The inquiries must be directly job-related and consistent with business necessity, meticulously protecting patient privacy.
