No such statute exists and, if one did, HIPAA would overrule it at the federal level. It is specifically illegal to withhold medical records in order to collect payment.

How do you get records from a Doctor Who has died?
A patient has the right to their records although there is a fee (at least in Canada) but it's minimal. Since your doctor died, then either there is another physician that took his place and they would have your records or, the doctor's office would usually tell you of another doctor to see and when you do they will automatically pass your records to them. If there is another doctor that took the place of your doctor and you don't care to be treated by him/her you can request your medical records be released. They will make you sign a document of release.
Will a suboxone Dr refuse to treat me if I have other drugs in my system This is my initial intake appointment?
If you are going to a Doctor for help, the Doctor WILL try and help you. However, you need to tell the Doctor EVERYTHING that you are doing. It is OK to do this because whatever you say to your doctor is treated as strictly private. If you tell your Doctor everything then he/she will be able to help you, if you withhold vital information it is possible that what the Doctor does to try and help you could end up harming you.
What do I need to do to access my mother's medical records and speak to her doctor?
Speaking to your mother's doctor is done the same way as speaking to any other doctor; you make an appointment. If it is necessary to access your mother's medical records, her doctor has access to them and can access them for you. Of course, you will have to have a legitimate reason to have access to her records. I don't know what your reason is. If you are planning a malpractice suit against your mother's doctor, then the courts can subpoena the records.
