From a lawyer's perspective - HIPAA gives you the absolute right to see and have a copy of anything in your record. As somepne who represents medical facilities, just mention the dreaded HIPAA and you will get what you want (although they may ask you to sign a form). I can email you the HIPAA request form if you would like and/or need this. I have gotten copies of everythin so far and will continue to do so.
