Why Might I Need Medical Records From Danbury Hospital?

Here are the reasons why you might need your Danbury Hospital medical records:

• HIPAA - All medical records are required to be kept private under HIPAA laws (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.) HIPAA is great for keeping your records private, but it can create hurdles when your medical providers need to exchange information.
• Seeing a new specialist - If you are planning to receive treatment or care from a specialist outside of Danbury Hospital, the provider will most likely need access to your medical history to provide the best care.
• Entering an assisted living facility - Assisted living facilities and nursing homes will want to know the medical history of all residents.
• Keeping your family informed - Many health conditions are at least partially genetic. Providing your medical records with your children can help keep them healthy.
• Changing Doctors - If you plan on seeing a new doctor outside of the Danbury Hospital, you will want to have your medical records transferred to them for the best possible care.
