How can patients get their “original” mammograms (x-rays)?
She can ask — or have someone else ask – the facility for her original mammograms and a copy of the medical report. She can ask the facility to send them either temporarily or permanently to another medical facility, to her doctor, or to herself. Her facility may ask her to fill out a form to release the medical records. If the facility charges a fee for this service, the fee must not be more than it costs them to provide this service.
