Most testing facilities, labs, diagnostic tests, MRI's, ultrasounds, x-rays, etc. do not give any detailed reports to a patient before the ordering physician has had an opportunity to discuss the results with the patient. My MRI facility will now hand you a paper upon leaving that simple states, no abnormalities, or see your physician for the results. They want to relieve your anxiety if nothing shows up but will not indicate what if something does show up. They want you to speak with your doctor.

Some MRI centers will fax the results to me. Others will only fax it to the doctor.. CD's can only be obtained if Doc ordered it in the original script.. seems like is getting more stickler and it will cost the patient.. I wonder what obamacare will do

Medical records access has more to do with the state law. In this state, the individual owns all their medical records. I've gotten CDs of any of my imaging for 10 bucks or no charge.
