Medical records of deceased mother
My mother passed away quite suddenly of breast cancer. Both my sister (who has power of attorney) and I have called the oncologist who treated our Mom and left messages for the doctor to call us. My Mother had 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters we want information to tell our doctors. The doctor has not returned any of our phone calls.
How can we proceed to get this necessary information? My sister does have power of attorney and is the personal representative of our Mother’s estate.
Re: Medical records of deceased mother
As the personal representative, she must send a medical release that conforms to the HIPPA requirements. I would suggest that if you think there is some case, see a lawyer who can help you in this regard. Give me a call to discuss it at 248-353-9400. William S. Stern
