There is no cost for patients and families requesting medical records.
We suggest requesting a copy of specific dates of service rather than the entire medical record.
If you are requesting records from an inpatient hospitalization, an “abstract” of the record gives you all the essential elements without having all the daily assessments.
A typical “abstract” of an inpatient record includes:
You may request copies of medical records be sent to a physician’s office for an appointment. Sending these records directly to the physician’s office is free of charge.
If you have an appointment with a specific date in which you need your copies, please mark this on your authorization form.
Copies will be faxed or mailed directly to the physician office. Please provide us with the physician name, full address, phone and fax number.
To request copies for your physician office please follow our medical records process.
A third party such as an insurance company or attorney's office can request copies of medical records. Please review our process of how to obtain medical records.
Charges for third party requests for medical records copies
Prepayment is required on all requests that have an amount due greater than $5.00. You will receive an invoice in the mail before any copies are processed. Records will not be sent until payment is received. If payment is not received within 30 days, your request will be cancelled. Please allow 7-10 business days after payment processing for copies to be prepared.
