Sometimes we need to get our medical records from the clinic. The desire is understandable and quite even legitimate - everyone has the right to receive information about their health status. However, in practice, we often have problems in obtaining a medical card - the registry refuses to issue it, sending patients to read the law.
In fact, misunderstanding between patients and healthcare workers on this issue often arises due to ignorance or misinterpretation of the law..
In accordance with h. 5 Art. 22 The law of 21.11.2011 323-FZ "On the basics of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation", the patient or his legal representative has the right, on the basis of a written application, to receive medical documents reflecting the state of health, their copies and extracts from medical documents.
As can be seen from the text of this paragraph of the law, we have the right not only to receive a copy or extract from a medical document, but also the medical records themselves.
How to act, if you need to officially receive a medical card from the clinic?
You need a medical card, you must apply in writing to the medical institution.
It is important to write two copies of such a statement - one is given to the doctor or receptionist, and on the second copy, the recipient of such an application must put a mark of receipt indicating the date, time, signatures and transcripts of the signature. Furthermore, we recommend that you check, whether your application is registered in the journal of incoming correspondence of the medical institution.
Only such an official statement can guarantee the safety of your nerves and time., if you want to get a medical card in your hands in cases of inadequately minded health workers.
