Yes, I obtained copies of my records and have found errors. Some "past" errors seem of little concern until you need them to be accurate for a particular reason. At one office visit, I had a doctor ask me about a medication I had never heard of and was definitely not taking. He had cut and pasted another person's records into mine on the computer. He never fixed the error and now I am stuck with things on my record that do not belong to me. (I changed docs after that fiasco.) I also like to get copies at each visit for a few reasons. It does not cost you anything for a page or two at a time when done by the office personnel and they are usually happy to do it for you. Waiting usually results in copies being made by a third party and billed to you. I have also had docs leave town, die, etc. and then I had no access to my records under any circumstances. No one seems to know where the records went. I have also had physicians that belonged to a group practice, go to another group practice and leave their records with their prior group.

I have also noticed a lot of incorrect info in my records. Mostly from my surgeons records, which really ****** me off (I found them while trying to pursue a lawsuit)

I also requested my Pain doctor make sure he was detailing everything in his notes. He sometimes only included things regarding the RSD in my left arm, but was not including other issues which I wanted to make sure SS saw for my SSDI case.

Some records I have paid for, others I have gotten from my LTD insurance company that they got prior to approving my claim, others I have gotten from attorney's while I was trying to pursue a lawsuit. A lot I don't have, because I can't afford to pay for them.
