How to Request Your Little Company of Mary Medical Records

Your medical records have vital information about the care you've received, your current state of health, and the testing and procedures that your doctors have performed in the past. Being able to transfer these records or request copies of them gives you the ability to control both your healthcare and the companies and professionals that provide it. If you need to obtain your Little Company of Mary medical records, DoNotPay can help. The DoNotPay Request Medical Records product makes it easy to access this vital data. With DoNotPay, you can quickly get your medical records from Kaiser hospitals, Mercy Hospital, Baptist Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, or any other medical facility where you've received care.

The Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) is designed to protect the sensitive patient information that healthcare providers document and retain. HIPPA also grants patients or their authorized agents legal access to their medical records upon request. However, to ensure compliance with HIPAA privacy laws, all medical facilities require patients to complete and submit a medical records release form before any data is released. Moreover, each location can have its own rules and requirements for requesting records. DoNotPay can help streamline and simplify this process so that it's easy, hassle-free, and guaranteed to produce the results you want.

Which Medical Records Are Restricted?
