Sometimes, your physician may deny a refill due to medical reasons. Also, you may be requested to make an office visit so your health and medication can be properly evaluated.

Can I see my medical record? Can I get a copy?
The clinic maintains your medical record for an extensive period. You have authority to read it and receive a copy. If you are moving or changing doctors due to insurance changes we make a copy available free of charge to your new physician or to a specialist that is following your care. You will need to sign a Medical Record Release Form available by contacting us. Under HIPAA privacy laws you can request a time to look at your records and write comments on a blank sheet of paper for inclusion into the medical record. However, there are certain exceptions to the general HIPAA previsions.

If you wish to personally obtain a copy there is a charge according to Texas law.
