I am so frustrated! so a couple of you ladies know that I recently moved from Florida to Washington state and my old obgyn will not send my medical records and no doctor I contact here will see me without them...what do I do? I feel so out of options ! I'm 29 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow and I haven't done a GD test or anything.
that's is illegal girl they are required by HIPAA to provide your medical records upon YOUR request. I went to the ER and just told them my doctor's name and they found her practice and were able to get my medical record. medical professionals are required to share upon the patients request.
@meganeileen6, @burgescd that's a good idea, I'm gonna ask them about that because I'm on so many hormones and meds for this pregnancy it kills me that I haven't gotten anywhere.
Try to fax it yourself and mail them a copy via expedited shipping AND certified mail.
maybe ask the new ob office if they have a form that they can fax your old office and have them fill it out and send back just for the basics so they can start their own file on you? like your test results and pre pregnancy weight?
@meganeileen6, its the worst! I just don't understand what the hold up is ya know ?
that seems like BS girl!! you've gotta go higher up it looks like! thats such an unneeded stresser im sorry :(
@coraanne, I know !! and I asked if there was a way around it and they said no.
@shortiebs, they keep saying they aren't getting the fax from the new office. which I've watched them fax it.
Is there anyway to talk to who's in charge at your old clinic, that doesn't seem right!
@mila05052016, thank you for that , maybe I'll try that too. its getting ridiculous.... I don't wanna end up delivering with someone I don't know if feel comfortable with.
