I asked to have my MRI results put on MyChart and the diagnostic imaging department at Central DuPage Hospital told me no. They said that they need the permission of my doctor to post my results on MyChart. There's only one problem with that. One of the HIPPA violations is "Failure to promptly release information to patients - According to HIPAA, a patient has the right to receive electronic copies of medical records on demand." When I spoke to Central DuPage Hospital, they were openly rude and defiantly adamant that they were not going to put my report on MyChart without doctor's authorization. They told me that regardless of HIPAA rules, it was not their policy and they will not release it to me unless the doctor tells them to. According to HIPAA, I am supposed to receive my medical records on demand, not that I am supposed to receive my medical records on demand only if I have the permission of my doctor. But I guess that Central DuPage Hospital policy supersedes HIPAA rules. I will follow up on this with the appropriate agencies to see what, if anything, can be done about it. |
