I ask because one of my doctors took three months to send me a copy of four visits and totally ignored my other request for copies of my medical reports for a three month period. I'm hoping requests from SSA have more pull than I do with this doctor...
Most states have laws connerning ther length of time they have to respond to a "written" request for records from the patient. I don't know that those same laws apply to a third party request (the SSA).
What state do you live in?
