You can have your doctor add a correction to your medical record. What you need to do is submit your request in writing telling of your findings and ask him to add a correction, changing your diagnosis. However, your A1C being under 7 doesn't mean that you aren't a diabetic, it can mean that your diabetes is still controlled without medications. Check your fasting glucose levels as well. That with your A1C will give you a better picture of your diabetic state.

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.

you should always tell the truth to your doctor.  That way, he can rule out anything that may be sexually oriented.  He's not going to use it against you, but may need that information for your best diagnosis.  Often, the question is on the paperwork, anyway

You can request your medical records from the administrative office of your physician. Just ask.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

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.

First of all, cool down. Secondly, you should go to your personal doctor. He is the one who has your medical files and he is the appropriate one to give the best advice. He may ask you to have some extra medical tests.

my husband went through this a few years ago. he paid 5 dollars to each doctor for COPIES of his records. and one doctor eventually figured out what was wrong - mineers (don't think i spelled that right) dis ease.\nhe went to several different docs for about 10 years before ONE figured it out.\nthis is YOUR life and YOUR health. don't leave it in the hands of a doc who is not doing YOU right. PLEASE.

Yes.  It is called a "working diagnosis."  \n\nIt's their educated best guess.

In regards to what? Are you refering to the right to request an amendment of your medical record or something else? Just look up in the federal register 45 CFR Parts 160-164. Its quite simple one you know what your question really is.

The problem is that the other side has a right to have their own doc, look at you and make an analysis.  To prove false statements you need your medical records that prove the made it false when medical evidence by more than one doc is needed.\n\nIf you can prove wsib is responsible for the information then yes you can sue them, but if they added info given to them it will be difficult to prove.  Appeal the decision as an error in law, keep fighting, they make it hard for people to get the help they need.

Your doctor may be basing his information on expired data.

I'm not sure if it is classic fraud, such as billing for services not rendered, but it does sound like there is a problem in the billing department.  I'd write the doctor a letter explaining what happened and telling him your concern.  He/she may not be aware of the problem.  The billing department is filling in the wrong information on the form.  \n\nHowever, if the problem persists, you have your letter as proof that he knows it.  Change doctors and get all of your medical files forwarded.  Then, send a formal complaint to your state attorney general with a cc to the insurance company and the doctor.  Be sure to enclose a copy of the letter previously sent to your doctor, and his response, if any.

Ask the doctor who diagnosed you.

You can't. Medical records are not public information.

See another physician for a second opinion... Second of all, if you feel that dr did not do there job, file a complaint with the state health department.
