The Right to See and Get Copies of Your PHI. Other than “psychotherapy notes,” you have the right to get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other information that I have about you. I will provide you with a copy of your record, or a summary of it, if you agree to receive a summary, within 30 days of receiving your written request, and I may charge a reasonable, cost based fee for doing so.
The Right to See and Get Copies of Your PHI. In general, you have the right to see your PHI that is in your possession, or to get copies of it; however, you must request it in writing. If I do not have your PHI, but I know who does, I will advise you as to how you can get it. You will receive a response from me within thirty days of my receiving your written request. Under certain circumstances, I may feel that I must deny your request, but if I do, I will give you in writing, the reasons for the denial. I will also explain your right to have my denial reviewed. If you ask for copies of your PHI, I will charge you not more than $.25 per page. I may see fit to provide you with a summary or explanation of the PHI, but only if you agree to it, as well as to the cost, in advance.
