With limited exceptions, the HIPAA Privacy Rule (the Privacy Rule) provides individuals with a legal, enforceable right to see and receive copies upon request of the information in their medical and other health records maintained by their health care providers and health plans.
A health care provider shall disclose medical records or payment records, or the information contained in medical records or payment records, without the patient's written authorization as otherwise required by law or when ordered by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

Allopathic, osteopathic or naturopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, and, as of December 31, 2010, physician assistants can sign death certificates after the death of a patient in the state of Arizona.
Although it's often recommended that you receive between 10 and 20 certified copies, you may need fewer or more depending on your loved one's estate. The best option is to become familiar with your loved one's estate before they pass.
