Need advice on getting sons medical records.?
My son has a LONG medical history. We have had to move a few times and change Dr.s. Well I am trying to get ALL the Dr.s names so I can have ALL the information sent to one place and review it myself to look for patterns in his health and his current Dr is telling me that I can not look at what the other doctors send him because of HIPAA laws. I can not go to each office, as I am no longer in that area. I read the HIPAA rules and they do not say anything of the kind. Any advice on how I can get my hands on those records. I have both physical and legal custody of my son so why would I be denied the records? All I am looking for is dates, what was wrong, meds prescribed, Dr.s referred to, height and weight. I don’t care about anything else in the records. Please help!
My son is only 7 years old.
If your son is 18 or more, he can request records through each doctor’s release forms. If he is underage, you can do this on his behalf. Doctor’s don’t always keep records a long time as they used to since laws let them off the hook. If it were my son, I would look up address of each doctor on internet and send a notarized release. They will charge you for copies. What’s up with his current doctor not releasing records? I’d find another doctor if he’s p laying hard ball.
