Medical Records

My Daughters mother passed away, my ex wife. My daughters have been trying to get medical records and send to her life insurance. The doctors and hospital won't release and information. She got married 4 months before she passed way. He stopped them from getting any information. We believe the had something to do with it. My daughters are the only ones listed on the policy. He is not on it. We have been trying to get this from May 2007, how can my daughters get health information for the insurance?

I am in litagation with my landlord. I have disclosed some medical history. They have issude a subpoena for my medical records to the doctors I disclosed. Can they get access to records of mine that I did not disclose? More specificly I received treatment at Haight and Ashbery a free clinic in San Francisco I did not disclose this information. Under the HIPPA law don't the free clinics help protect your information? THE DISCLAIMER FROM CLINIC SAY'S YOUR INFORMATION IS USED ONLY FOR INTERNAL REASONS AND POSSiBLY MEDICAL RESEARCH. BUT IT ALSO STATES THAT THEY WILL ISSUE INFORMATION FOR SUBPOENA OR COURT ORDER. IN OTHER WORDS HOW WILL THEY KNOW TO ASK THE CLINIC IN THE FIRST PLACE IF I NEVER DISCLOUSED THAT INFORMATION?

What type of form do I need to obtain health records from New York State doctors regarding my son's past health? He has given me power of attorney to try to get the records I have written to them but get no cooperation. They tell me they are covered under law to refuse to give records, notes, tests or other information. can you direct me to the necessary information and forms I should be looking. The records I need are from past office and hospital stays that involve psychritics. Is there any way you could assist me or perhaps lead me in the right direction Thank you Sue

My doctor of six months has decided to recuse himself from providing medical care to me. He stated in a letter that he would be willing to provide copies of my medical records to my next choice of physician. Those medical records consists of 14+ years of documents, created by other doctors, that he had no part in creating. I gave those records to him by hand when our professional relationship began. I want the original documents handed back to me so that I can pass them on myself at my own discretion. It is my understanding that he is going to refuse to hand them over to me, but apparently wants to give them to my next physician. Do I have the legal right to physically receive my medical records?
