No he can't, unless he is your Personal Representative (HIPAA 164.502(g)(2)), or has a Durable Power of Attorney. If you are unable to make such decisions yourself, an Advance Directive may also allow him to release medical records, although said release would be examined and possibly challenged.

How can you access your husband hospital medical record?

At your husband's discretion, you may be allowed to view his medical records, except for psychotherapy notes, which usually he is not entitled to see either. If your husband is alive and responsible for himself, he has the right to allow you access, or to bar your access to these records. If you need his records, you may try petitioning a court for a subpoena or court order requiring the CE (Covered Entity) to reveal these records. Note that the CE can attempt to fight this order, and often has the backing of law and precedent, so it's not a slam dunk. If your husband is deceased, you can petition the court to allow you access to said records, assuming your husband has not already made such provision. If your husband is legally incompetent, and you have been declared Personal Representative of your husband, as described under HIPAA, Privacy Rule, 160.52.g.1, you "stand in the patients shoes" and have all right of access your husband had. So the answer to your question depends on your husband's condition, your relationship to him, and your reasons for wanting to see the records.


Medical Records Request?

Get StartedMedical records contain highly private and personal information and are considered confidential. Patients generally have the right to their own medical information and the right to control who else has access to their records. Therefore, with certain exceptions, medical information can only be released with the written authorization of the patient or the patient's authorized representative. This document can be used to provide the necessary authorization. Under rare circumstances, a health care provider may restrict the release of medical records to the patient if the release could be harmful to the patient or others.Most states recognize that the actual medical records are the property of the health care provider who compiles, stores, and maintains the information. Typically, then, only copies of medical records are released and the health care provider maintains the original record. Providers can charge a fee for copying the records but should not deny the release of medical records because the patient has outstanding medical bills.Many health care providers have very specific procedures regarding the release of medical records because of confidentiality concerns and the special protection afforded certain types of records such as HIV, mental health, and substance abuse information. Although this form specifically addresses certain types of records, providers may require you to use their specific form to authorize the release of records. Therefore, it is possible that a provider will not honor this program's form.THIS PROGRAM IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR THE RELEASE OF MEDICAL RECORDS FOR LITIGATION PURPOSES. Contact your lawyer if such a release is needed.


Can your doctor release your medical records directly to you?
