Each state has different laws regulating ownership of medical records. Health Info Law has a great map with links to all the regulations by state. Check your state regulation or contact an attorney for more guidance on ownership regulations in your state. Even if your state does not have existing legislation defining ownership of records, there could be case law or statutes that apply. HIPAA allows patients the rights to inspect and copy their medical records.
HIPAA is based on the concept that your medical condition is a private matter and that your medical records should be protected from people without specific authorization.
Concept Records was created in 1999.

The physician keeps health records, safely, maintained in the Electronic Health Records (EHR). The record is stored in a digitized format. However, the patients have complete rights to view their health records by using patient portals whenever the want.
Typically clinics, hospitals, and private physicians are required to maintain records from 7 to 10 years but this is regulated by each individual state medical board so it depends on the state. With the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), this is likely become an obsolete concept and records will be kept indefinitely.
