  2. How to Access Your Medical Records • A lot of us don’t know how to access our own health information or medical record. No, that’s not really wrong. This is mostly because we don’t really ask for those records until we really need them. So for the sake of knowing, how can a regular Joe request his medical records? • Well, you start with your hospital, drug lab, doctor, lab, or Health Insurance Company. Most of them have Blue Button, which makes online medical records retrieval a whole lot easier. Thing to remember is that not everybody has Blue Button so you might want to ask in advance.

  3. How to Access Your Medical Records • In the case when they don’t have Blue Button, you can just simply ask for direct access to your medical records. The HIPAA Privacy Rule gives you enough power, albeit with restrictions, to be able to review, inspect, and receive a copy of your medical records provided they are held by health care providers and health plans under the Privacy Rule. • You must remember that no provider can deny you access to your own records. They can’t also charge you for searching or retrieving said records. Once you are covered by their plans, you are also given the coverage of being able to receive a copy of your medical record.

  4. Choice Legal

  5. Seek the Help of Choice Legal • There are also people who want to use personal health records to manage their health and medical information. Unlike the previously mentioned Medical Records Retrieval services, A PHR is generally controlled by the individual and not by a health care provider. Choosing which is better depends mostly on the preference of the patient. • Most people who want to have a more “private” approach to the idea prefer PHRs while those that don’t really bother themselves with privacy find it easier to deal with EHRs. For them, they can just contact 3rd-party providers like Choice Legal to retrieve their electronic medical records for them securely and discreetly. Online medical records retrieval services eliminate any problem of privacy leak.
