Aunauthorized people try to get your medical information
Hello,
My deceased brother’s ex wife contacted Mayo Clinic and my brother’s attorney trying to get access to my medical records. Has this or a similar situation ever happen to you and what did you do about it.
I stepped down on all my responsibilities due to this. I did not what her to take me to court and take more money away from her own children. Thankfully they are adults.
Hi,
!
I am sorry this is happpening to you. I have no clue why your ex sister-in-law is seeking access to your medical records, but I know in some very specific situations, it may be legal. You may be able to talk to a lawyer about this, but I know that may cost money. Here is some information about Minnesota law, since the Mayo Clinic is based in Minnesota -- https://www.ag.state.mn.us/consumer/Handbooks/ManageHealthcare/CH08.asp. You may have to speak to a legal professional to receive the most accurate advice as to what courses of action are open to you. Again, I am sorry you are in this position and I have frankly never come across a situation like yours, so I don't have any super helpful advice.
Best, Erin, Team Member.
