My doctor retired and sent my record to another practice.?

This is commonly done when a doctor retires , records are sent to the doctor taking over for him , records aren't looked at unless you call and want to be seen by this physician , so if you don't want this new one retrieve your records but first find a doctor excepting new patients... your former doc found one and apparently thinks he/she  is qualified to be your doctor

Register with a new Dr and they will arrange for your medical records to be transfered to them.

Yes they can. When I got copies of my records before moving to a different company I got charged. Not all offices will charge you, but nowadays, most will. I found the highest charges were from hospitals.

If you're not happy with your current doctor, you could talk to him/her about the problems.\nEither way, it's your health in their hands, so find someone you're happy with.\nI almost switched doctors when my previous doctor's case-load was taken over by a new doctor- but I stuck it out with her and she's turned out to be a great doctor.\nYou gotta speak up though.

Ask your doctor or a hospital you've been in before. They should be able to look at your records and tell you.

you should check with the BBB or the medical malpractice section of your local courthouse.  (probably their records department)

Your doctor may be basing his information on expired data.

Unless you can go back to the doctor who provided the shots, or to a previous school who may have a copy, it's nearly impossible to get old shot records.  I work in a school, and we run into this problem all the time with people trying to register their children.  Unfortunately, many of the kids have to start the whole shot process over again.

The medical licensing board will usually tell you if the physician has ever had any disciplinary actions against them.  If they have had any malpractice issues in that state, they'll usually have that info, too.\n\nBut keep in mind that sometimes docs with bad histories jump from state to state.  You might have to check with a couple of states to get a good idea of their history.

Check with your state's medical license board. If the surgeon has any complaints, or malpractice suits, they should tell you. If not check with state and local court dockets, that's how I found mine. Good Luck

You question really doesnt make any sense. Are you trying to determine where and how a medical record was accessed? This is called requesting an Accounting of Disclosures from the provider. Otherwise, please update your question.

Contact the manager of the lab and let that person know that you feel that the doctor should be liable for this bill because the doctor prevented you from the proper course of action and ask the manager to redirect the bill to the doctor.  It doesn't hurt to ask.  I have had similiar situations and because I was persistent ...they finally gave up.  But you may want to choose a different doctor.

Contact Kaiser, ask them to send you a release of information, when you get it, fill it out in its entirety, mail it back to the them. Keep in mind that the provider has a right to charge you a nominal fee for copying the records
