One of the things that recently made me SUPER mad was that they built a sensor that was so poor in quality that the FDA stopped them from even selling it to type 1s and type 2s. In some ways, it made me feel good about FDA - that were able to protect us. But, they alternativley just started selling it over the counter to non-diabetics (which FDA said they could do). So, I had all these nondiabetics asking me stupid questions about blood glucose data and making unfounded assumptions. A lot of engineers got into that as a sort of digital health fad. They were annoying and they were providing financial reward to a player who was not able to uphold quality standards.
Here’s a clause related to medical records. This was a “required” online submission to see a PA (I’ve never ever seen a doctor at this practice)
Medical Records: The medical chart is the property of the practice. However, a CD of your pertinent medical information is available upon request and is subject to a $30 fee. Records will be made available within 30 days of your request.
“Pertinent”? Doesn’t that violate the HIPAA requirements? These records should be our own, used under license from us. Insisting on access is not unreasonable but ownership of someone else’s personal data is obnoxious and offensive.
Maybe I’ll swap practices; these guys are making me fed up, it’s not as though there are any doctors available!
I am also offended.
I found out how to request all of my transactions from Walgreens in their Chicago office. I did. It took them 30 - 60 days to produce a paper copy and it’s as thick as a large 3-subject notebook, but I got it for free.
I’m gonna use it to terrorize them for not following state law. Fools!
