ok right this is the technique. while the clinical professional sends you on your ultrasound he in basic terms gets a replica of the record of the guy who reads it for him. what you're able to do is pass to the sanatorium or well-being facility that finished the attempt and request the fims or regardless of. below ohio state regulation they could provide them to you. if the clinical professional did no longer do the attempt he would not have the copies you want he only has the record . pass the place you took the attempt and that they could provide it to you no matter what. in many situations they could have you ever sign paper the place you're taking the flicks out on mortgage. they're going to ask you to return them 30 days later....that is as much as you what you do on that....they can't value you for the flicks...and that's reality ...any problems call the criminal professional generals place of work. oh yeah tell them you want the flicks for yet another clinical professional for 2nd opinion. those medical doctors and hospitals are so grasping that is all approximately funds and not well-being anymore.

Not in the US -- though other countries may vary.
In the US, you may be required to pay reasonable costs to make copies of your medical records, but you cannot be denied access to them.

If it's worker's compensation- the doctor's office must have a release from the employer.
If you have outstanding charges- they don't have to give them to you.
Most offices actually charge per page for records in my area.

They have the right to charge you a fee for copying your records.

No. They must give you copies if you wish or send copies to any doctor you request. They are allowed to charge you for the copier expenses, but they have to release your records.

If you owe them money for said services, yes they do.
If you are under 18, yes they do.

Yes if you owe him money and the reason you want them is not life threatening.
