This new podcast series covers a wide variety of topics including paying for healthcare - when you are insured and when you are not insured, selecting a new physician , using healthcare quality rating tools, and understanding your medical record. In this episode:
Ownership Rights of Your Medical Records - Dr Russo discusses ownership rights in your medical records and that patients do own their health information, but it is a generally accepted understanding in the healthcare industry that the healthcare provider who collected the information owns the medium on which it is stored.
