What is the name of your state? Minnesota
My husband passed away 2 months ago, and yesterday I got a phone call from his daughter. She had been calling the clinic, hospital, hospice, and the funeral home trying to get her Dad's medical records.
She was told that I would have to give my consent for her to review his records, and I am not comfortable doing so. Her Dad specifically told me when we filled out the forms that he did not want her to have access to them, because she has a tendency to start trouble....i.e she is suing a huge bank for embezzlement because they took money from an account after she missed her payments on a loan....
I can understand her wanting his records for a family health history, and would be more than happy to cooperate, but she says she wants his records relating to the last few weeks of his life...and the funeral home records. Why that??? I dunno....
I told her that I would send her the info she wants, but she insists that she be allowed access to his records.
Is there a way to allow limited access? Only his diagnosis, treatment given, prescriptions.....I hesitate letting her have access to it all, for fear that she will start trouble...
