Can a health care provider refuse to release your records to you?

Regardless of the facility, be it a hospital, clinic, psychology, dental etc.
Can a health care facility make the decision “Not” to release your personal
medical records to you personally?

I signed the authorization forms, had the fee ready, and they said “No” to releasing
them to me, but would release them to another doctor with the proper authorization
form sent by that office.

Isn’t this a Hipaa violation?

It is a violation, by law, they must give you copies of your records. I would call the facility and ask to talk to the person that manages the records department and tell them your experience, and ask that they have your records copied and that you will pay any fee required and when you want to pick them up. If once again you are refused, it’s time to call your state department of health to lodge a complaint against the facility.

Doesnt the health care industry already have enough incentives without Hillary giving them more?

One Hillary supporter pointed out that Hillary’s health care plan has “financial incentives” for the health care industry. Hasn’t anyone noticed that health care costs are already growing at a double digit rate? Is health care so cheap we can afford her “financial incentives”? Is it not apparent that Hillary’s campaign is already accepting money from health care companies who would benefit from her universal health care plan that is supposed to benefit the poor?

In any plan made by Clinton the only financial incentives are to put money in her personal bank account.
