Good luck getting your medical records! In Virginia, the records belong to the health care provider. They have to give you a copy if you pay for it, and most will send a copy to another health care provider without cost. However, it's very hard to get a complete copy, simply due to logistics. The copies are made by underpaid munchkins in a sweat-shop environment. Be sure you ask for a copy of any, each, every and all documents. If you have ever been to a hospital, there will be documents there that your HMO won't have. Every doctor you have ever seen will have a unique set (except for HMO doctors, if you have a central chart.) If you have a PPO, the insurer will have a unique set. I can't tell you how many times things I never saw before turn up at trial in the defense attorney's file.
