Medical Records That Can't Be Disclosed

Certain records may be withheld from you. These comprise mental health records, where the clinician's notes are more likely to be "impressions" than diagnoses. Some suggest that revealing these records could harm the patient-provider relationship or lead to misinterpretation if supplied out of context.

A provider cannot decline your request because it may hurt your feelings. Only if the information's revelation requires you to damage yourself or others may it be rejected. You must get a written denial if you are denied.

Under the legislation, your health information may be withheld in several instances, but these restrictions are up to interpretation.

Here are a few examples:

  • During psychotherapy, your healthcare provider takes notes; these notes may or may not be kept in your medical record.
  • Information obtained in anticipation of action.

You can file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Civil Rights if you believe you are unfairly denied access to specific medical records (OCR). You can do the same if your medical privacy has been compromised.

If the OCR agrees that your complaint is justified, it will tell the healthcare practitioner or facility to take corrective action or demand a settlement if there was a serious injury. The complaint must be filed within 180 days of the offense.

How Do You Request Your Medical Records?

To get your medical records, you'll need a photo ID. If the records are being picked up by someone other than the patient, that individual will need photo identification and an original signed authorization letter from the patient. It's possible that making a copy of your records will cost you money.
