MRI facility refuses to release copy of report to patient.

More details to this question:
I live in NY state. I recently had an MRI. The MRI facility gave me copies of the films, but states that it is their "policy" not to give the patient a copy of the report, they will only release the report to the prescribing doctor. Are they required by law to give the patient a copy of the report? Thanks.

Absolutely, they have that requirement. You should advise the facility that their failure to comply will result in a complaint to the NYS Health Department.
