[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would they be able to access them, theoretically? Probably. Would they be allowed to, according to HIPAA, if you did not sign a form allowing them to share records with other providers? No. And regardless, sharing of records from, say, an OB to an Ophthalmologist would only happen if the ophthalmologist had a medical reason to need to see the notes, even if you technically signed that you were ok with it. If your eye doctor is reading about your C section 12 years ago just for fun , that’s not allowed. [/quote] HIPAA doesn't require consent for sharing between providers.[/quote] It absolutely does. I work at an urgent care and if I send someone to the ER and call up to have the patients visit note faxed to me the next day, they refuse, unless I fax over a signed consent from the patient. BTDT.[/quote]but I am sure the ER doc can phone your doc to get direct verbal info without written consent.[/quote]
