I can't say I know totally for certain-sure, but I think they all are. I
believe they're premitted to charge (if necessary) a reasonable copying
fee.

In practice, I've never had the slightest difficulty in getting any of
my doctors (med onc, rad onc, surgeon, D.O., ob/gyn, primary care . . .)
to give me copies of pathology reports, blood tests, scan reports, etc.,
at no charge.

I now have quite an impressive collection <g>!

In addition to all medical reports being available, although there may be a
copying charge, all films are available as well.  I believe that bone scans,
MRI's, and PET scans are on CD's.  However, I don't know if the CD is available
or if you can only get hard, black and white copies of the films.

Hi, Scott -

In all states medical records are the property of the provider, not
the patient.

Some states require healthcare providers to give you copies of records
if you ask for them but they are allowed to charge you a bit for
copying.  Like others here I've had no problem getting records just by
asking for them.

Good luck!
