Your rights to accessing your medical records
________________________________________________

California Health & Safety Code section 123100 et seq. establishes a patient's right to see and receive copies of his or her medical records, under specific conditions and/or requirements as shown below. The law only addresses the patient's request for copies of their own medical records and does not cover a patient's request to transfer records between healthcare providers or to provide the records to an insurance company or an attorney;

Section 123110 of the Health & Safety Code specifically provides that any adult patient, or any minor patient who by law can consent to medical treatment (or certain patient representatives), is entitled to inspect patient records upon written request to a physician and upon payment of reasonable clerical costs to make such records available. The physician must then permit the patient to view their records during business hours within five working days after receipt of the written request. The patient or patient's representative may be accompanied by one other person of their choosing. Prior to inspection or copying of records, physicians may require reasonable verification of identity, so long as this is not used oppressively or discriminatorily to frustrate or delay compliance with this law.
