What about my medical records
All medical records are confidential. Records may be released to your other health care providers in accordance with HIPAA regulations. Our office will not release this information to other third parties without your written consent or court order. You may obtain a copy of your records. Please allow 14 days for all medical record requests. A fee will be charged for copies of records, in accordance with Virginia law.
How do I obtain a medical report or form?
Requests for any medical report must be submitted in writing, indicating in your letter the reason for the request, the information that should be included and to whom the report should be sent. If you request a letter, legal or other narrative report, or a disability report, a fee will be charged. A fee will also be charged to complete any required forms, such as disability forms, DMV forms, Metro Access and FMLA forms. This fee will vary and must be paid before the report is prepared. Please contact our office for the current fee schedule.
For disability forms, you will also be given an information questionnaire by our office, which you must complete in advance, outlining your disability, any work or other restrictions you experience and the reasons why you consider yourself to be disabled. All determinations of disability will be made by your doctor. Disability forms will not be completed if your doctor does not consider you disabled. A written authorization form must be received from you before any information can be released in accordance with HIPAA.
What about X-Ray and MRI Films?
We do not store or keep your x-ray or MRI films, or computer discs or tests not done in our office. We cannot accept films or discs prior to your appointment or keep them after your appointment. Please bring your x-ray films or discs to your follow-up appointments for your doctor to review. These will be returned to you after your visit. You should store these at home.
