Dear IAAL;
I need to know if there is a legal standing
requesting copies of written Dental/Medical Records from Doctors. I work for Dr. A, who was working for Dr.X.,untill he found out about the misdealings that was going on. Long story. Dr.A opened his own office and his patients followed him over. But now, when our patients request their records, all they receive are copies of current radiographs and a paper saying when their last cleaning was. No patient history of any work that was done. Example: Crowns, Root Canals or Extractions.
Being in the Medical Field, it is nice to know the history behind the work. Dr.X has went as far as threatning to "Take it to the next level" with one of our patients that wanted a copy of their records. She owed no money, and her whole family was and still is seeing Dr.A. So my question is, does she have any legal rights to have copies of her familys records? And does Dr.X have any legal standing to refuse to give copies to patients? I know this might be a complicated matter but any advice would greatly appreciated. Thank You "Z"
