You have the right to determine what happens with your medical records. If you instruct your physician to provide the results to your employer he does not have the right to refuse. If you run into issues demand your file from them and you can directly provide the results to your employer. BTW, do you mean, HIPAA guidleines? ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act. HIPAA deals with the privacy of your medical records.
Keep in mind that the decision to release medical records to your employer is your alone. It sounds like they may be over-reaching in their requests.
For additional guidance I suggest sitting down with a qualified attorney in your area.
Best of luck.
