INSIDE THE HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM - PROTECT YOUR MEDICAL PRIVACY (PART 3)
Consider asking your doctor not to include especially sensitive information in your record. You might say, "If I tell you something very personal that may be relevant to my care but that I don't want to be written in my chart, would you respect my wishes?" If your doctor is unwilling to honor your request, you'll have to decide whether you still want to reveal the information.
Keep in mind that keeping important information out of your chart could compromise your care down the road—especially if you see another doctor or if your doctor fails to remember what you said. Keep information out of your record only if you feel doing so is absolutely essential.
Be wary of any medical information you give out, no matter how innocent it seems. A TV ad once offered free information on pollen counts to anyone who called an 800 number. The names of those who called were then used by the drug company that had sponsored the ad to market an allergy medication.
Get a copy of your medical records to make sure all information is factually correct. An error in your chart could lead to the loss of employment or future insurance coverage.
In most states, you have a legal right to your medical records. In the rest, you can ask your doctor for a copy of your chart. If your doctor won't provide it, you've got to wonder whether your doctor views health care as a democracy or a dictatorship.
