Most doctors' offices retain your medical records for 7 years. You can request copies of medical records from your treating physicians as well as the hospitals you have visited for diagnosis and/or treatment. Some doctors will charge you for copying the records. Doctors will forward your records to other doctors for free and all you need to do is sign a release form. If you are moving, you may be allowed to hand carry your records after the doctor has made copies....this is particularly important if you have had tests such as X-rays, MRI's and CT Scans. The doctors can forward them safely and package them so they will not receive any "artifact" information.
