Yes. : Hipaa regulations allow you to request your personal medical records from your provider, considering you are not a minor. Some providers may charge a per page or per x-ray fee, or if digital records, a per disk fee.

Yes: You can obtain copies of your medical record via written request. If by 30 days after request,provider has denied access then you may file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
