Are Dental Labs protected by HIPAA and not allowed to provide the dental patient with records?
I had dental procedure that included the installation of 28 crowns and veneers. I sent the dentist a written request for the contents of my dental record, including the dental lab record. The dental lab record the dentist provided is incomplete. I have asked the dental lab for a copy of my order and all documents relating to my case. They in turn sent to me the same set of incomplete documents. I want to know what type of ceramic they used in the manufacture of my crowns and veneers and all pertinent information regarding the color and design the dentist ordered. I asked the Better Business Bureau for assistance and the Dental Lab is now claiming that they are covered under HIPAA and do not have to supply me (the patient) with any information regarding my order,unless required by a “court.” Do you know if the HIPAA protection claim by the dental lab is accurate? Thank you for your help. This is very important to me.
I am a medical resident and have had to review the HIPAA laws ad nauseum. You have a right to view your medical records, although the records are the property of the practitioner / facility. Facilities can charge a fee for retrieval, and require a reasonable time to retrieve the said records, but you certainly have a right to view your own recods. I would call back or preferrably go there in person and find out the proper channels to get your records. It sounds like they are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
