Can a Company You Are Applying Too See Your Medical History / Charts From Any Type of Background Check ?

Question by L: Can a company you are applying too see your medical history / charts from any type of background check ?
Ok, my brother used cocaine in 2002. After he stopped using it he would get pains in his chest months after and he went to the ER twice, they found nothing wrong. He told the doctors he stopped using cocaine because he thought that might have something to do with it. It was most likely anxiety or gas, since it is 2010 and he is still here.

Now would companies he is applying to be able to see that he told doctors he used to use cocaine ? Can they see his medical charts in any type of background check ?

And how can he see his own medical records to see if it is on there ?

He was never tested positive, he just told the doctors that he used to use it.

I would think when he gets hired and applies for health insurance with the company, the insurance company might be able to see it.

He wants to know because he has been unemployed since 2009 and thinks that they might see “cocaine” on his medical history when they do a background check and not want to hire him. He is applying for general labor type jobs.
Thanks rntrauma
