Pomp Patients: who orders the labs? pomp or the nut?
HIPAA is federal law and provides that everyone has the legal right to obtain copies of any and all medical records.
That being said, Quest cannot release records directly to patients in every state - the list of states is on the Quest website, but in some states they can - you have to fill out a release. Otherwise, they release them to the ordering physicians and the physician's office MUST, BY LAW send you a copy of you want one - you have to fill out a release.

Can't you just hand a list to your pcp and have her order the labs you want?
Seems like too many middle men involved and too much room for aggravation.
