I used to skiptrace and may be able to help you out with locating a person's whereabouts and criminal record, but medical records are impossible to obtain due to HIPPA laws.

“do full background checks look up your medical records?”
In the case where employment screening is concerned, m edical records are generally off limits, however there are exceptions. If for example you are being considered for a very high security clearance (as in above top secret); your medical / mental health records may be subject to investigation too. That said however, they will need your signed consent to do so. Needless to say, failure to provide this consent may greatly lessen your chances of obtaining the clearance and employment .

depending on where youre based i dont know how much they vary from country to country.
but i'm in uk
my last enhanced crb check in feb had 5 areas it had to go through before it came back
police records of convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings
information from the list held under section 142 of the education act
protection of children act list information
protection of vulnerable adults list information
other relevant information disclosed at the chief police officer(s) discretion
on the back it says....
the information contained in this Disclosure is derived from police records, and from records held of those who are unsuitable to work with children and/or vulnerable adults, where indicated. The police records are those held on the police national computer that contains details of convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings in england and wales, and most of the relevant convictions in scotland and northern ireland may also be included. the crb reserves the right to add new data sources. for the most up to date list of data sources which are searched visit the crb website.
the Other relevant information is disclosed at the discretion of chief police officers or those of an equivalent level in other policing agencies, who have been approached by the crb, with due regard to the position sought by the person to whom the disclosure relates.
you do have to fill out a form and sign before it can be done,
any 'spent' (long since expired) cautions or convictions will still show up, someone i know had a caution show up from 1965 cos he'd nicked two planks of wood and a pushbike to carry it off with as a teen.

Information held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Information held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (previously known as, and still widely referred to as, "List 99") is a database maintained in the United Kingdom by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). It contains the personal details of individuals such as current name and any known aliases, date of birth and National Insurance Number of those listed who are banned from working in any capacity with children in any setting be that in schools, children's homes, hospitals or voluntary organisations, etc.
As of 2006 [update] , the list is receiving considerable media attention since not all people on the British Sex Offenders Register are also listed on this list. It follows the case of a physical education teacher being cleared to work with children by DfES, even though he had accepted a police caution for accessing child pornography. However, a banned individual need NOT be convicted of only sex offences to be included on List 99. For example, an individual can be placed on the list if convicted of theft, fraud, drug offences, corruption, GBH, affray, murder or subversive activities. Medical reasons for placement on the list include alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness (eg:Schizophrenia). Moreover, an individual does NOT have to be subject to Police arrest or convicted of an offence to be included on the list. Dismissal for Gross Misconduct (for ANY reason) can lead to inclusion on List 99.
