Your records belong to you. You paid for them , I assume. All tests, copies of X-rays, copies of reports from lab tests and all other tests like ECG, EEG, Echo, Ultra sound, Spirometry, Kidney function and all others belong to you. There may be a small chg for copying them. (My docs give me a copy of all records as I leave the office). The records are yours. They do not belong to anyone else and can not be shown to anybody without your permission. Only the insurance co. has a copy because you allowed this when you signed with them. I do not know what the Doc does if you did not pay your bill, however, I would not be surprised if they withheld this info until you pay up.

I have had multiple X-rays taken during my 82 years. If they are repeated the doc prefers to see old X-rays for comparison. Hospitals used to save them for a short time and then SOLD them to get the money for reclaiming the silver. Today they are all digitized and that saves money and space. No more selling them because they do not use silver.
