Can you have comments removed from your medical records if so how can this be done?
HIPAA allows the patient a process to make corrections including additions to the medical record. If the comments in your record are accurate, this process is naturally harder, but still not unworkable. You might try asking your doc first and seeing if the comments can be stricken without resorting to a formal process. However, the way this works is you send your doctor a letter, specifying the changes you request to be made. You don't have to explain but if you can it's probably a good idea. Send the letter by Post, return receipt requested, or by courier. If you use a courier, make sure it's someone who has no vested interest in this. Your kids or your spouse are not a good choice. FedEx isn't bad at all. From the time the letter is received, the medical office has thirty days to inform you they are declining your request (or agreeing with it). After 30 days, they are required to complete the changes you request. However, if they do decline your request, you can appeal to the controlling agency, the Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in Washington DC. Hit their website and it'll direct you to how an appeal like this is submitted. Once submitted, DHHS will rule on a decision. If your healthcare provider fails to perform legally, you can file a HIPAA complaint -- HIPAA violations -- with DHHS as well.
Where can you get insurance if your already pregnant?
You should contact your state DHHS (Dept. of health & human services) and apply for Medicaid... You could do it online. I live in Texas and EVERY insurance company has told me that they will not cover the pregnancy/maternity costs b/c it is a preexisting condition. The HIPPA act only covers you if you have insurance already or within the past 63 days.
