| All
of your medical records, your images, your reports and any medical,
demographic, insurance or personal information that you provide
to us is held in the strictest of confidence and in keeping
with the highest standards of medical ethics and applicable
law.
XRCMI is a filmless institution for all
modalities except mammography. That means that we do not record
your images on traditional x-ray film. Instead we view and
store your images electronically, along with the reports of
those images. We make your images and reports available to
your physician in a variety of ways, via a secure web site,
by FAX, on CD-ROM, on paper or even on traditional film, if
he or she so requests. Keep in mind however, even if we do
provide your physician with film images, we do not retain
those images on film at XRCMI.
Should you need a copy of your images or
reports to go to another physician(s), we will provide them
directly to those physicians free of charge with your written
consent. If you want copies for your own personal use, please
contact your physician first; he or she may be willing to
allow you to have their copy (if they had requested a hard
copy from us). If that is not possible, XRCMI can print you
copies at a moderate charge. With regard to legal matters,
your attorney may obtain copies of your images and records
from us with your written authorization.
XRCMI does provide obstetrical ultrasound
patients with "baby pictures", images of their children
to be, at no charge. From time-to-time we may also provide
free images of certain other types of exams on a promotional
basis. Please understand that the costs associated with providing
our patients with their own set of images on a wide-scale
basis however, is simply prohibitive and would prevent us
from our goal of providing the highest quality services at
reasonable cost.

medical records policies, please call us at (574) 243-0100
