Medical records will get lost if you mail them.
Doctors offices will lose your records.
When you go for a second opinion the office will not have a complete set of your records.
So much precious time is lost if you don't have a backup medical folder at your home.
It should include:
- all consultations
- lab reports
- x-ray reports
- copies of x-rays
- office visit notes
- medical history
- prescription history
- radiation and chemotherapy records
- operative reports
If you have this you will never have to worry or have an appointment canceled because of lack of records. It is worth its weight in gold.
Remember, you entitled to all of your medical records. Ask for a copy every time you have a test, consult, x-ray, anything.
