NO, a doctor can only get your records if you give him permission!. They have to have a reason and your permission!. I have gone to new doctors before and they would not treat me until I gave permission for them to get copies of my records from my other doctors!. They need the history and information to properly treat you!. I would wonder about a doctor that DIDN'T want to know what was in my records!. I was being treated by a different doctor for a minor heart problem and he ASKED me if I wanted him to give copies of everything to my regular doctor!. They don't automatically give it to every doctor you are seeing unless you have given the ok!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
!?!?!? What are you talking about!?!?!? I work at a doctor's office, and we only send records to another doctor that the patient has seen (or will see) - and then only if the patient or doctor requests the info!. The patient ALWAYS signs a records release form before ANY records leave our office - even if the patient picks them up for his own personal use!. That way, we have that info on file!. We don't arbitrarily send info to any doctor that ask for it!. This is because of HIPAA!. Check it out, it protects your privacy!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have to go and see a doctor and become a patient before they can ask for your records, and then it comes under continuity of care!. Even then you need to sign a paper for release!. Otherwise it is a HIPAA violation!.
