[QUOTE="sick and tired, post: 82051, member: 4143"] I have worked in medical records for 6 years, according to HIPAA, as long as you are the LEGAL guardian of the minor child, you have every right to request the medical records. A minor child CANNOT sign the authorization to release their records unless they have been legally emancipated - emancipation is NOT recognized in NY. IF you are requesting the records for your own personal use, you may be charged 75cents per page. You must specifically request mental health, drug use, alcohol use and/or HIV records or they will NOT be released to you. In some cases, mental health records may not be released to anyone except the primary care physician. If you are requesting the records to transfer to another doctor for continuation of care, there should NOT be a charge. If you are sending the records to an attorney or insurance company the attorney or insurance company must send the request with your original signature - no copies or faxes are accepted. they will be charged 75 cents per page. If you go to court due to this issue, the courts can subpoena the records. by the way if you submit the records yourself, they may be deemed inadmissible. Get your attorney to request a subpoena. There is a $15 charge payable by the courts and they are guaranteed to get the entire record which is admissible in court. [/QUOTE]
