Re: Medical Records and stuff

Dear , How do we get our records? Do we call the Drs. office and ask

for them to mail them or should we set a time to pick them up? Will they ask

us why we want them? Will they only release them to another Doctor? I am

going to do this, but I would feel better knowing the correct steps to get

them. I love it when you get on your soapbox. Something good always comes out

of it. At least for me. Love Carolyn

Thanks . I am now on a mission. I will keep you informed. Will they

give us copies of xrays? Just wondering. Now I will get to know me from the

inside out.

Tell the girls hello. Love Carolyn

Oh Lordy, I am afraid that will happen. I am not under a Dr. care right now

because of insurance. (none) So I guess I will have to brave the off. mgr. I

understand about them charging. I will call the Derm. that was in charge of

my hives if I have to have them sent to another Dr. Put me on your prayer

list. I am healthy with the hives under control and hope I won't have to see

a Dr. anytime soon. Love Carolyn

Put me on your prayer list too. I am healthy and have the hives under

control. I just

worry about the Dr. that gave me the medicine that I was allergic to and had

to go to the hospital and developed hives. But I am going to try. I need to

know. He will probably think I want to sue him. But, I'm not. Love Carolyn

Dear Jackie, I am getting too old for surprises, but I guess It would not

hurt to get ready. I have always been so healthy until the cancer and hives.

All my life I have used common sense but hives do not apply. There is no

sense to them. Love Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, I kind of had a run around to get my girls because we have

moved, switched doctors and changed insurance (LOL not) However, begin by

calling your doctor (you will have to call each one individually) and ask

their procedure to get ahold of your medical records. Some doctors charge a

fee, some don't. A couple of important things to remember are 1) THESE

RECORDS BELONG TO YOU 2)Ask for ALL that they have, if you don't they might

not include doctors comments or the labs 3)remember to ask EVERY doctor you

have EVER seen as they keep individual records. Hope this helps GO GET

UM!!!!! Much Love,

Carolyn,

I want to add one more thing about the records. Ask for a copy of them at

the time of the visit and they usually won't charge you. I ask for a copy

so I can review them along with the doctor and take notes.

Hope this helps,

Carolyn,

Some doctors will give them to you right there before you leave. It is best

if you get them directly from the doctor because he has no clue how the

office works. If the office manager gets involved they start asking why.

In my case, the records were free if I was taking them to another doctor but

they would cost $1/page if I wanted them for myself. So I lied...they lie

to me and I lied right back. What goes around comes around!! If thye

insist releasing them to another doctor, pick a doctor who is friendly and

will give them to you.

Good Luck,

in Pa

Hi Carolyn, Thank you for checking this out. It might be one of the best

to call and ask. Much Love,~Alena's Mom

Not only will getting your medical records together give you the complete

dx)...
