Are Electronic Plastic Surgery Records Shared Among Doctors?

" HIPPA, " the Health Information Privacy Protection Act has many strict regulations about how healthcare information is shared.  Records from a solo practitioner in private practise would not be released to another doctor without your permission.

The short answer to your question is no. Without a consent physicians cannot share information about their patients which often times to the detriment of the patient.

Dear LidiaC,  Unless a doctor is a partner of the surgeon who performed your liposuction, your health records, be it electronic or paper are treated the same and cannot be shared without your permission.  In practices with partners, because the doctors often have to cross-cover each other's patients, most practices will allow all of the authorized partners access to the medical records of any patient in the practice.  If you have any concerns, contact the surgeon's office who performed your liposuction and discuss their privacy policies with their office manager.
