  More info

  Requested my medical records via the freedom of information act and was told I wouldnt be given them because admins or coordinators only have access to my labs. I asked what the process is and to speak with a manager and all I get told to do is calm down or we will not help you. I wasnt cursing or yelling. I keep getting ******* who keeps redirecting me to a sales professional i never worked. I have the right to my medical records from them to include all notes, test results, interpretations, and prescriptions of which i am being denied access to.

  We tried explaining to ****************** that due to HIPPA restrictions, he would have to send us an authorization to release his records to the 3rd party he is wanting us to provide us the information.  Alternatively, we could mail a copy to his home as email is not secure.  We mailed out the information on 10/2/23.  We also just received a release form from ****************** and faxed the records immediately to the VA.  Again, no one in our office withheld any of his records, we simply needed authorization.

  We fail to understand why our response is rejected.  The patient's full medical records were attached to our response.  Additionally, we attached the medical records request from the patient which was dated and received on 10/6/23.  We are attaching confirmation of sending the requested medical records directly to the number provided by the patient to the VA.  Any errors in the VA not properly filing or receiving our faxes is solely due to either an incorrect number or their systems being down as we use a digital faxing machine which continues to resend any failed faxes.  We are happy to mail the records to the VA should the patient authorize and provide their mailing information.  Alternatively, the patient is in full possession of the records from our previous response to BBB and is free to deliver them directly to the VA.

  I am rejecting this response because: The attachment provided shows the attempt to send the documents failed.  The attachment was a one page attachment showing that the fax failed.  There were no other pages after the one page document.  There were no other attachments.  Hence the response is rejected.  A failed attempt at faxing documents does not mean the documents were received by the VA.  Also the attachment is one page meaning it only shows the failed attempt There are no further documents.  No documents have been received at ************************************************************ ** ***** from action mens health.  It is currently October 16th and no medical records have been received by any means at all.  

  Sincerely,
  
  ***********************

  ******************,

  We respectfully request that you go back through the messages contained herein as the records you requested have been attached herein.  Asides from that fact, the fax report you mentioned displays that the number you provided us is not accepting faxes (we use a digital fax that continues to re-attempt failed messages).  Its apparent that the problem is at the VA's end.  Secondly, your medical records were attached to this thread (please re-check - and we are re-attaching again).  With respect to the mailed copies, we have confirmed through two sources within our office that they were sent.  As for the prescription, its the only item in your medical history that we cannot include because your medication is a scheduled 3 controlled substance.  Its peculiar that you are wanting the prescription attached as its a major violation of federal and state regulations for you to try to precure those medications from various sources.  Are you satisfied with us excluding that portion of your medical history or do you want us to still provide the prescription while forwarding your multiple attempts to obtain its copy to the *** so they can determine if you're attempting to violate federal and state laws?  Given that you continue to drag this on when the history here clearly shows that your full medical history (minus the scheduled medication prescription) has been provided (and is being re-provided), which only demonstarates that you are attempting to abuse controlled substances.  We are ok with your attempts to drag this on, however, we are also under an obligation to report this to the authorities.  Please indicate your acceptace or rejection so we can take the ************ course of action.

  Best regards.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The contact is your voicemail on June 16 after cancellation. I called twice June 20, leaving a message for your secretary and on your voicemail.

  I had to initiate a dispute due pulling charges early on my account after stated a concern on June 15 and was willing to work with your company. 
  

  Nevertheless, your company has continued continued to attempt drawing from my account on July 17. Pretty ridiculous.
  
  I contacted your company on July 17 and 18 to speak with you. They informed me you were out of town through text. I requested a return call and copy of your refund policy.
  

  July 26 I followed with another voicemail to you and text to *** and was told you would get the message to return my call. 

  
  Sincerely,

  The refund was issued.  It will take the merchant a week or two to process as the cardholder had previously initiated a dispute.
