I always get compies of my medical records and usually do it at the time I'm seeing a certain doctor or having procedures done. I have also found lost of inaccuracies documented from incorrect demographic information to the incorrect body part, incorrect dates, etc., The latest was on a MRI when the radiologist indicated that I had which I didn't have. My doctor requested the amendment for me. I also requested that my records be corrected and they were. Under HIPAA laws you can request either an addendum or an ammendment. The providers that get irritated shouldn't - sometimes it's the difference between insurance paying for treatment or not.
