Patient medical records are technically the property of PPCA and we are required to maintain the original record. We are not allowed to give out the original medical record, even to the patient. However, patients are always entitled to obtain a copy of their medical record. Please read our
privacy notice
for more details. If a patient requests a copy of her medical record, the first copy will be provided free of charge. Subsequent copies and all requests from attorneys and insurance companies will incur a copying fee. Patients must sign a medical record release form in order for us to send copies to anyone other than the patient.
