I terminated T a couple of months ago.
Now I would like a copy of my records. Would it be okey to write: Dear xxx I have thought about this for awhile, and would like to get a full copy of my records, while being treated by you from date :xxx to xxx I would like for you to send all copies to my home adress. If theres any fee involved please let me know. Regards xxx xxx |

Your letter sounds good to me. You could add that you're entitled under HIPPA law, if you anticipate a problem. I wrote my T too asking for records but I was dismissed (I get that kind of reaction a lot). I had to hire a lawyer. Cost me way too much money $1,200. You'll probably get a better response. Good luck.

I don't think HIPAA applies to this situation in any way. It would if you were asking records to be sent to another person because of your right to privacy but I don't think this is anything like that.
I am doubtful that they will mail your records anyway. What is to stop your BF or a person who has ill will from sending a letter purporting to be you and want copies sent to an address that is not yours?

I want to ask him to send them to my home address. And I donīt have a boyfriend. I was planning on emailing the request from my personal e-mail, too.
However I do understand your concern, about that. Thanks |

If you just want to know what they say, ask to come in to review them. This way, ur T won't charge u for copying them. U can always take pictures of certain notes with your phone. My T allowed this. Good luck!

If you want the records so that they can be reviewed by a new t, why don't you just sign a release to have them sent to the t? I do this all of the time between old and new t's as well as my pdoc.
