State laws usually only require holding them for a few years so they may no longer exist. The only way would be to contact the entity that provided the care and find out where the records are if if they are kept that long.

If you are in the United Kingdom you cannot remove information from your medical records. (This is obviously regarding your actual medical notes and history, not your contact details etc; those you DO of course have the right to have altered).

However, you have a right to have a note added to your records that states the correct facts and points out what is wrong.

In the US, probably lawyer up or something. Enough money buys you anything you want regardless of the law I'm sure. ;-)

Depends on who's asking. If you're the patient's healthcare provider and you delay providing medical records to either the patient or another healthcare provider who is treating her, you risk of running afoul of HIPAA, which requires a reasonably prompt response time, and additionally run the risk of a lawsuit if the delay causes a problem with the patient's treatment.

North Carolina General Statute Section 90-411 permits the following charges: Search, Handling, Copying and Mailing Costs Up to $10.00 Certification Fee Up to per record $9.32 Copying Costs for Records in Paper Form Per page for pages 1-25 $0.75 Per page for pages 26 - 100 $0.50 Per page for pages over 100 $0.25 The HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibits the charge for Search, Retrieval and Other Direct Administrative Costs from being assessed against the patient or the patient's personal representative who requests medical records. The HIPAA prohibition does not apply to requests by other persons.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibits providers from charging to convert medical records into a form or format requested by the individual, if it is readily producible in such form or format, or into a readable hard copy form or other agreed upon form or format. However, if the individual wants a copy of a non-paper medical record, then a hospital may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copying the record, including the cost of supplies and copying labor.

Where someone other than a patient or their personal representative requests records, physicians may charge a reasonable fee (currently $10.00) to search for, handle and copy requested records. However, actual mailing costs may always be charged, regardless of who the requester is. The fee constitutes a minimum charge. It does not apply when the actual copying charge exceeds the minimum.

A physician may charge to prepare a health record summary.

A physician or hospital may not assess a copying charge where the requester is applying for Social Security Disability or Income benefits.

Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do that. None of them are on any computer, and if they still exist, they are paper and in a dusty file cabinet some place in a basement. Most have been long destroyed long ago. An outside chance would be if you could find the doctor's descendants and if they happened to keep the records. A death certificate may also show cause of death.

Yes they do. Under HIPAA, the caregiver may not withhold patient information because of non-payment.

No such statute exists and, if one did, HIPAA would overrule it at the federal level. It is specifically illegal to withhold medical records in order to collect payment.

First - The AMA does not have anything to do with reporting a doctor regarding

conduct etc. The AMA is an organization, which allows doctors (if they choose so) to

become members of their (AMA) organization. The AMA then delivers medical data regarding the medical industry.

If you want to report a doctor regarding misconduct, the best thing to do is contact

your state medical board (http://www.mdnationwide.org/choose_a_doctor.htm) by

writing a detailed, nice, professional "Registered or Certified Letter" regarding your

situation.
