Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
An individual may be denied access to records when there are civil proceedings pending or the record contains classified information, the requested information is exempt from release, and the exemption rule has been published in the Federal Register, or the provider determines it is not in the best interest of a minor, based on exemptions included in HIPAA.
HIPAA allows patient access to their own medical record, with very few exceptions. Failure to pay the bill is NOT one of those exceptions.Added: HIPAA restricts and prevents the dissemination of your medical records without your knowledge and approval. There is no provision within it which allows a medical provider to hold your records "hostage" until you pay their bill.
