Medical Record Request - denied

[Pooh]

I think I had to fill out a release of medical info for my records. Under the new laws - if they refuse to give you the records I think you have the right to take action against them.

There may be a copying fee - and I think they can take up to 30 days to get them to you.

Just ask to sign a release of Medical information - when it says what records - check other - put in there all records pertaining to (your name) including all hand written notes. If they refuse - then kindly remind them of the HIPAA regulations
