Medical records access

Your right to obtain copies of your treatment records.

Legal and rights

You can request copies of your fertility records, including cycle summaries, laboratory and embryology reports and scan results. Providers may charge a reasonable fee and must respond within set timeframes under privacy law. Keeping your own copies makes second opinions and moving clinics far easier.

Also known as: requesting records, copy of my file
