An individual asked the appointed guardian of her late doctor’s medical records (the custodian) for access to her complete medical records. While the custodian originally claimed he found the individual’s medical records, he later said he did not find any. In this interim decision, the adjudicator finds the custodian did not conduct a reasonable search for the individual’s medical records and orders him to conduct another search.
