hi judy,i would just request the lab reports if that is all you need...you are entitled to all records under hipaa but if the guy is an applehole and you did not get along he may resist under below and maybe fear of suit...be nice and precise in your request,you will probably get them,or just have your atty subpoena what he needs...regards,r Marsha Dienelt <marshadienelt@...> wrote: I sure don't know @ the psychotherapy notes piece.

I asked compassVision for a copy of my tests and they said I couldn't have them becaue they contracted with the BRN, not with me. That's a load of crap!!!!

That is truly a load of crap. My payment goes to CompassVision directly

not to the BOP, as I'm sure yours does. Doesn't that make the contract

with US?? I'd like all of my test results too, just to compare the

varying values. Aren't those lab results actually our property since

we're the patient and the paying/responsible party? I know when my

credit card on file expired in July, they were super quick to " freeze "

my account.

Any suggestions as to how we can get our records released to us?

Thanks Marsha. I will as her for them. I haven't heard anything more from her and haven't been tested for 3 weeks-so I think somthin may be up with the CA BRN, too. What state are you in?

You gotta love Maximus--most in my Nurse Support Group have dropped them in favor of taking their chances iwith the BRN. That's where I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you..

,

I wrote to the board of pharmacy and requested copies. I stated that

they were part of my medical record and that, under HIPPA, I was

entitled to copies. I stated that my primary MD had requested copies and

told them the date of my MD appt. The board called me the day before my

appt. and told me I could come pick them up.

I tested today also. I gave a nice concentrated specimen, so I am

all nervous. Oh Well.
