Yes and no -- I'll explain.
If you feel there's something inaccurate in your medical record, you need to petition the Covered Entity (CE) (the doctor usually), and ask them to amend the record. This can be done with a written letter. They have 30 days or so to explain why they won't do so. If they disagree, you can petition to DHHS (Dept. Health and Human Services) OCR (Office of Civil Rights), who has the power to make this determination.
If they agree, or if they don't respond in the time window, your requested changes must be implemented.
You can also ask for your own comments to be added to the medical record. This action is not directly covered in HIPAA, but is instead a function of medical recording, i.e. this likely constitutes a patient history.

How do you make correction in the medical record?
There are two things you can do. The first is to ask the provider who put the information in to amend the record. Never ask them to change a record because that would require they made an error which they will never do for liability reasons. Alternatively you do have the right to submit comments to the reporting agency. However, decision makers are likely to look more favorably on an amendment from the provider than the individual.
Do patients have the right to amend their PHI?
Yes, patients have the right to amend their Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If a patient believes that their PHI is inaccurate or incomplete, they can request an amendment. However, healthcare providers are not obligated to make the amendment if they believe the information is accurate or if the record was not created by them. Patients must also be informed of the provider's decision regarding their amendment request.

How long do you have to amend a complaint?
The time allowed to amend a complaint varies by jurisdiction and the specific rules governing the case. Generally, under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party can amend its complaint once as a matter of course within 21 days after serving it, or if the amendment is made after a responsive pleading, within 21 days after that pleading is served.
