Can pre-employment medical checks access all your medical records?

My understanding is that the medical check can only look at the records you gave them consent to search. So for example, almost all my records (99%) are in my home state, and I gave my federal employer access to look at them. However, I did not mention about one medical event that occurred at a hospital thousands of miles away. This record is not included in my medical transcripts back home. I'm wondering if there is any way they can find out about this event when it is not included on my local medical transcript. Also, I did not mention the name of the hospital on the medical form. At the bottom of the form I had to sign my name which gave them access to transcripts from "only the hospitals and the doctors stated on the form". Do you think they can find and access the one record from another hospital in another state?

1. No they won't be able to. They will even have a tough time with doctors who signed a consent form with, they are very tight with records and will give as little as they possibly can. I have never heard of this for employment and am surprised it is legal. I thought they could only force you to have a physical with their doctor.
2. Pre-employment medical checks are illegal, they are not tied to your employment. They are tied to your insurance benefit. I think you misunderstood something they told you.
3. all pre employement medical checks are illigal and no one will even try to find out for the fear of penalites and law suits. the only legal thing to do is drug test someone. thats it. other then that whatever you have is yours and no one can access anything unless you tell them to and give them concent for it. but even then your medical professional can deny access to it.
