“Another overwhelming reason for keeping your own medical records is ,this action can save you tons of money, and possibly your life,” says Lisa Berry Blackstock, founder and owner of Soul Sherpa, an advocacy group that specializes in medical care advocacy and other services. She recommends that everyone, even those in great physical and mental health, keep full and up-to-date medical records.
“Having access to your own medical records saves your medical personnel from performing many tests, costing lots of money, to establish basic information already known,” Blackstock says. “It should prevent them from performing unnecessary testing and procedures that will duplicate what your records already show.” It may also expedite your visit plans, especially when traveling, so keeping electronic copies of your records accessible from your mobile device is a great idea if you’re often on the road. Telepharma offers this service to you.
