Medical Records

Completing an Authorization From

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, requires hospitals to obtain an original, complete, and properly executed “Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information” form in order to provide a copy of a patient’s medical record to a patient or anyone she or he designates. Only the patient, parent/legal guardian, or the patient’s legal health care representative can sign the form to release medical records.

The authorization form must be legible and complete. Authorizations that are illegible or incomplete will be returned. Requests for information regarding any of the following items must also be specifically initialed on the form:

• AIDS/HIV
• Chemical Dependency
• Mental Health

During COVID-19 please call us and we will mail an Authorization to you or you may pick up a form from the Receptionist in the Front Lobby. You can also access the Authorization form at the links below.
