[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outrageous. How is this not a consumer protection issue for the patients currently (or until recently) under Foxhall’s care for an ongoing pregnancy. [/quote]

Under HIPAA if the records are not received within 30 days it's an OCR complaint. And 30 days is an "outer limit" ...These are active pregnant patient files not archived records.
Some posts indicate that the practice is presenting barriers to the patients requesting and receiving their PHI. Go to Timeliness in Providing Access.

Interesting. I’m the PP who said this is outrageous above. Not my area of expertise, but maybe some complaints to the right agency (maybe in DC?) would at least prompt Foxhall to speed up the records issue. These are active patient files as you said, and not providing them can make it difficult for patients to receive the care they deserve — especially since the patients weren’t looking to change doctors in the first place. Terrible look for Foxhall. [/quote]
