Best Answer

One always has a right to one's own medical records. However, the health care provider generally has a right to impose a reasonable charge for assembling and copying the records.

Acquisition of any other person's records requires that person's written authorization for their release. Typically, the health care provider will have a standard form to be signed for that purpose.

What is medical records?

Medical records can easily be used interchangeably with Health records. These records systematically document a patient's history, from medical to demographic.
