Can you ask for a Dr’s office to remove you from there system as well as all medical history?

Question

Answer

In my country, no. Legally, medical records have to be kept for a minimum of 10 years.

Answer

No. You can ask them to close your chart and you would be an inactive patient. But legally they cannot remove any records for auditing and financial purposes. If there are paper charts they usually keep them separate from active patients. If it's a EHR system it would still be in the system but marked closed or discharged.

Answer

Legally they have to keep your records for 10 years.

Answer

If you are in Europe, based on the GDPR, you can. If they don't, contact your national Data Protection authority.
