Can an underwriter for a medical insurance company get full access to my medical records?
not without your signature ( read the fine print )
almost anything they have you sign has a clause that allows them to share information ( so anything your old provider knows your new provider will know ) ( note that this is a document that you signed saying they could share -you do not have to sign one with the new company saying they can access old records that is a given if you permitted sharing )

If you signed for it, then yes. You probably signed a form while filling out the application that lets them review all your medical records. How else would they decide if they can insure you or not?

yes - but only with your permission

In general, depends on what you've signed...
But with all the flaws and gaps in the system - if the underwriter is sufficiently motivated, yes they can get full access to your medical records.

It's not full access, but limited access - but yes, they can, because on the application you sign away the right for them to check your records.

yes...you have to give permission to though...but ALL insurance companies require you to give permission.
