Did anyone have a missed diagnosis of NSCLC?

Unfortuately, I don't think the law applies in my case. The report was available online - I just had no reason to look at it as I was treated for what might have been a heart attack having nothing to do with my lungs.
The Cures Act requires immediate electronic availability upon patient requests for all test results, medication lists, and clinical notes. The Cures Act does not require health care institutions to push unrequested designated electronic health information to patient portals.

Make sure you are signed up for MyChart with an email address. I always get an email when any test result posts.
In an ideal world someone like the ER doc or radiologist would own cuing your primary that a test results is there that he/she should review. After I review it, I drop my primary a message asking if we should discuss.
You need to be as assertive as is necessary to be your own advocate.
