Law on medical reports in Pennsylvania questioned
The article explains there is no specific Pennsylvania statute directly addressing whether a medical patient can request and receive a copy of a written medical report after a doctor's examination. It notes ownership of the papers lies with the physician or facility, that patient information is confidential, and that generally a patient or their representative may obtain copies with written request and authorization. If a report was obtained by an insurer with patient consent, the insurer may provide copies, and court-examined reports must be delivered to the examinee.
