Can I Get My Medical Records If My Doctor Moves?
If you are wondering what happens with your medical records when your doctor moves or retires, Datafied is here to help! Keep reading to learn more about medical records and how we can help you locate them.
What are medical records?
Medical records are essentially a compilation of your health history. These records contain information about past medical care and your medical history. This includes everything from vitals and immunizations to diagnostic tests, treatment plans, and physicians’ notes.
How can I get copies of my medical records if my doctor has moved?
How you obtain copies of your medical records really depends on the situation you are in. If your doctor moved but the medical office is still open, you can simply contact the office staff that is still there to get copies of your records. This request should be done in writing.
However, if your doctor moved or retired and their medical office is closed and they are no longer seeing patients, the process can get a bit more complicated. Just because your doctor is no longer practicing medicine, it does not mean that your records are gone. In fact, HIPAA guarantees that you still have access to these records. The only issue is that it can be more difficult to obtain copies because you might not know where to start looking.
