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.

Do doctors have to release medical information to the parents even if they are a minor?
Most doctors are actually adults. You must be thinking of that TV show.A more detailed answer would be: If the patient is a minor, the patient's parents or guardians would sign the Authorization of the Release of Medical Records form. If the parent or guardian of the minor signed this form, and grant permission to release the medical records, the physician, then, can do so. The parents/guardians have the right to access the minor's medical records, but cannot keep the original record as it belongs to the Maker (in this case, the physician).
Can you view nursing home records?
It is assumed that you are inquiring about another person's records. You cannot access another person's records unless you have authority pursuant to a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, a court appointed guardianship or other court order or the patient has signed a release authorizing the facility to release records to you. Records of patients are not released without proper authorization.
