It is the law that a medical office protect your medical records. It is called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is for protecting your privacy.
Everyone has the right to obtain their own medical records. Simply contact your physician's office and request a copy of your records. You'll have to pick them up from the office and sometimes there's a small fee.
Visit your local land records office or consult with an attorney.
Try calling the Medical Board in your state to lodge a complaint.

Medical records need to be kept at least 7 years in their office and another 3 years (either at their office or in another location). A total of 11 years is the requirement throughout the nation.
Medical billing and medical coding are important to the operations of a hospital, doctor's office or any medical facility. They are part of the records and financial department and help to keep records of all patients, of procedures and take care of billing and insurance records.
The main office of the clinic and/or the doctor should provide you with these records. They are yours.
To transfer your medical records to another doctor, you can request a release form from your current doctor's office. Fill out the form and specify the new doctor's information. Your current doctor will then send your medical records directly to the new doctor.
