Can a health care provider refuse to release your records to you?

Euro 4 asked:


Regardless of the facility, be it a hospital, clinic, psychology, dental etc.
Can a health care facility make the decision “Not” to release your personal
medical records to you personally?

I signed the authorization forms, had the fee ready, and they said “No” to releasing
them to me, but would release them to another doctor with the proper authorization
form sent by that office.

Isn’t this a Hipaa violation?
