Yes, you read the title of this post correctly. According to Tennessee Code Annotated section 63-2-101(a), when a patient or a patient's authorized representative requests in writing his or her medical records from a healthcare provider, the records must be supplied within ten days. The provider's failure to comply with the request may lead to disciplinary action.
