It doesn't sound right, to meeee. I'd be looking up on, i.e., the AG's site in your state and then link on over to ones relating to medical or patient and consumer info.

My understanding is, and I may be mistaken and stand to be possibly corrected: Once a patient makes a written request this or that has to be released within "x" number of days (and that number of days is dependent on the state).

If the facility won't release them and it is the "law" in the state, then, I'd be on the physician to compel that doctor to release the report - to you.

As far as I understand, patients, in every state, have a "right" to their own records and what is included within .

You may have to pay, and that's up to you to decide if you wish to. But: If payment is a condition of receiving the info. you seek, then, it is reasonable and a standard within the profession.
