Is it legal to destroy medical records?
Medical records are a complicated issue. Who owns them? The clinic or hospital that maintains the record, or the person about which the record is kept? Most states now say the clinic or hospital owns the actual physical record, and the person owns the information. This gives you the right to see your records and to decide who has access to them. In order to destroy the record a Judge would have to issue an order to the keeper of the record to expunge it. You would need a compelling reason as to why the record should be destroyed. It is currently not legal to have a medical record destroyed without a court order.
