under federal law known as hipaa (health insurance portability and accountability act) you have the right to access records documenting your health conditions diagnoses and treatments. put your request in writing and send it to the doctor's office. there are state laws that dictate the timelines within which they must send you your records (be aware that you may have to pay for the cost of copying the records). sometimes consumers face trouble getting a hold of their records despite their right to them. i hope you that won't be the case for you. if you do face any barriers however i'll point you toward a previous blog i wrote on the topic which offers information and resources.
how can i formally request my medical records from my old doctor to my new doctor? . my insurance changed which does not list my former doctor as a network provider. i chose a new doctor and i feel he should now have my medical records.
