      I requested medical records via online portal. Per ***** they just be given in the format requested, if not able to, they must come to an agreement WITH the patient and charges discussed AND agreed in ADVANCE. See ***** guidance with a lawsuit against same company clearly explaining this: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/access/index.html I ended up getting my records online as I requested despite what everyone argues it cant be done because radiology did it, we have email exchanges and I can easily make a screen recording showing proof I can access it via the browser. For some reason, despite me never asking for paper anything nor agreeing to the charges in advance as required, I was charged for paper copies of records. There is zero record anyone can produce to explain why they did this because there is no request from me about it. CIOX Health argued with me and said theyd get rid of the invoice as a courtesy, which when it was done illegally in the first place how could it be a courtesy to fix your mistake? I tried speaking with someone else over the phone who again didnt listen like the first person, very rude, interruptive constantly. It was impossible for her to acknowledge they did not follow the law, she didnt want to see the ***** guidance proving this, and failed to recognize even if the hospital did send this request to them, it wouldve included my authorization which clearly states electronic access VIA ONLINE PORTAL. Since I did not ask for a summary either, it shows that didnt pay any attention to their paperwork received. Its probably an illegal access of my information since they accessed something I didnt authorize or request, printed it and charged me for it. They do not even realize that what they did is probably illegal and a ***** violation whether they choose to believe so or not, whether its the way theyve always done it and nothing has happened in the past or not. They dont understand ***** law.

      I apologize for the confusion in this case.  You  are correct concerning the ***** laws and in this case the request was processed incorrectly in our system which generated an invoice for paper records in error.  The *** should have researched the issue further and came to the same conclusion.  The invoice has been cancelled and again I apologize for the clerical error that caused the confusion.  Thank you

      Since November 4, 2022, I have been trying to get my medical records from ********* Health Systems which has contracted Ciox Health of ******* to provide such services. **** rejected my first request. A second request with the recommended corrections as filed with Ciox on November 16th, which resulted in no response. A third request was filed on November 30. I still have not received any of my medical records. All contact with them through phone or email has been unhelpful, not answering any of my questions, or replying with generic form letters. My most recent email to them yesterday (12/5) fully explained the situation & asked for resolution & if not, a contact person with him to direct my complaints further. I received a response from "****************" who simply that my requests have been rejected.

      Complaint: 18182900

      I am rejecting this response because:

      It is clear that when asked directly, CIOX refuses to give the address for legal services. This in itself is a questionable and deceptive business practice.

      - Multiple calls, faxes and even a BBB complaint, with a non answer to a basic question. 

      I will add this to the paperwork packet and respectfully request the address for legal service, this is second written attempt.

      I was hospitalized at *********************** The hospital's patient portal does not contain my hospitalization's complete record and lab results. I had previously requested medical records from BJH and was never charged any fees. On Aug 24, I requested a copy of the report. As I have never been charged a fee for requesting my own medical records from BJH, I was not expecting there to be a fee for the records, let alone my own medical records. Moreover, the staff had only asked me to fill out an "AUTHORIZATION FOR RELEASE OF INFORMATION" form when I requested the records, with no staff ever disclosing to me, either through the form or verbally, that there was going to be a fee for the record. On Sept 1, I received a surprise bill (**********) from Ciox. I am writing to request that the $7.35 fee be waived.

      Business Response

      Good afternoon,

      Ciox Technologies relies on the medical facility to inform the patient that they have contracted with an outside company to process their request for medical records and that there is a fee associated with copying the records as well as shipping them.  In this case it seems the facility did not disclose this information to the patient therefore I will cancel the invoice (Invoice 385972946). 

      Thank you

      I applied for new health insurance on 8/1. Ciox was contracted by United Healthcare to process my medical records. It has now been 17 days, and I am close to losing my current medical coverage because we are in open enrollment and I do not know if I am being approved for this private insurance I applied for because of ****'s incompetence. The Ciox rep has been to my doctors office 3 times since the process was started. 8/3, 8/10, and today 8/17. All three times, a man named **** has failed to complete my records. Now, my open enrollment period ends next week, and my insurance agent informed me that **** wont be back to the doctor until NEXT WEDNESDAY 8/25. That is AFTER I have to make a decision on company healthcare for my son and I. I was getting this private plan INSTEAD OF company plan. So ****, and his incompetence, is now forcing me to get insurance I dont want, and has made a 3 day process to apply and be approved for a new policy with United Healthcare take over 3 weeks. **** is completely incompetent. Please have my records processed IMMEDIATELY.

      We are a law firm and I am complaining against Invoice # *********.I requested records from the wrong time frame, and after realizing it I quickly tried to cancel the request before records were sent. Because of insane call wait times, I was unable to get a hold of CIOX and was charged $350.00. I emailed to see if it was possible to cancel this invoice since I hadn't downloaded any records and they said no and to please remit payment.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/25/2022

      Invoice 381079659  -  The request was processed properly per a request submitted to the medical facility for medical records by the customer. The customer states they summited inaccurate request documents however we still preformed the work and should be paid for it.  However, in good faith I will offer the customer a 20 percent discount on the invoice.  Thank you
