There are state parameters/mandates/laws regarding how long medical records must be kept (in most states anyway). Seven years seems common, but is not universal. Also, if the medical provider wishes to archive those records beyond the state's parameters, they may. I was able to retrieve records from 15 years ago (made the request in 2009 regarding records from 1994) from a hospital.
