Your doctor sees
what's on the screen.
Not what isn't.
A doctor, including yours, typically sees less than 30% of your medical history at a first visit. The rest is sitting in twelve thousand databases that don't talk to each other. Federal law gave you the right to all of it. Almost nobody has used it.
A universal HIPAA authorization for releasing your medical records to another provider, attorney, insurer, or yourself. Cites 45 CFR § 164.508.
The numbers behind the system.
Verified data from federal agencies and peer-reviewed research.
You already have the right to all of it.
The 21st Century Cures Act (2016) made it illegal for hospitals, insurers, private practices, and EHR vendors to block your access to your own records. Here's exactly what that means.
Our statistical model of your medical footprint.
The estimate is not intended to be exact. Its purpose is to help visualize the scale of modern healthcare data.
We developed a statistical estimation model designed to help people understand the likely size, complexity, and fragmentation of their medical history.
Using your nine answers, the model applies national healthcare utilization averages, encounter-level record generation patterns, laboratory data structures, prescription activity, and provider fragmentation analysis to estimate how many medical record entries may exist across your lifetime.
It also shows how widely your records may be distributed across different systems, providers, and institutions.
