Many people would keep a deceased person's records for at least 10 years. Many people keep these records for longer than that.
If you can prove that their patient is, in fact, deceased, and that you are the executor of their estate, probably yes. Your actual problem may be that records retention laws rarely require medical practitioners to retain inactive medical records that are that old.
YES!!! At least this is so in the State of California.
Not if the husband is still living. If he is deceased, the executor can obtain the records.
Only the direct or immediate legal next of kin can request a deceased person's medical records. You will likely be asked to provide proof of relationship (such as birth certificate of an adult child) and the death certificate (such as the parent). You would need the person's "identifying information" such as Social Security number, hospital/patient number, date(s) of service, etc. Even when researchers seek medical records for genealogical purposes, the "proof" of relationship and even a reason for the request must be submitted before the request is approved or denied. Call the administration or medical records department for their exact policies.
To find the blood type of deceased parents, you can check their medical records, which may include blood type information if they had previous blood tests or medical procedures. If those records are unavailable, you can also examine any blood donation records, as donors often have their blood type documented. Alternatively, you can consider genetic testing, as blood type can be inferred from the blood types of surviving family members.
In Florida, veterinary medical records for deceased patients should generally be kept for a minimum of two years after the animal's death. This retention period aligns with the Florida Veterinary Practice Act. However, it is advisable for veterinarians to retain records longer if they pertain to any ongoing legal or liability issues. Always check with local regulations and professional guidelines for specific requirements.
No, you do not need an executor of estate form specifically for accessing a deceased parent's medical records. Most states have laws that allow the next of kin or a designated representative to request and access the medical records of a deceased individual. However, you may need to provide proof of your relationship and may be required to fill out certain forms or provide documentation to the healthcare provider or institution. It is best to contact the healthcare provider directly to understand their specific requirements.
If the deceased person is your wife then I think you are responsible for her medical bills
I'm guessing you might mean your medical records? Your insurance records would be wherever you put them. Your medical records, or records of insurance payments would be with the medical provider.
How long a person keeps tax records for a deceased person will vary depending on the circumstances. Use your best judgment. It is recommended that a live person keeps their records for 5 to 7 years.
Virtualy impossible unless it was on their medical records. You cannot find it out by using other family members blood groups either, we all get our blood group from our parents and even our grandparents.
