Medical Records Requests

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (known as “HIPAA”) gives a patient rights over their health information, including the right to get a copy of the information, make sure it is correct, and know who has seen it. The patient can ask to see or get a copy of their medical record.
