ByHow to Get Your Medical Records From Northside Hospital
Everyone should have a copy of their medical records. For their own personal records, for future medical care providers, and for family in case of emergency, it's important to have a copy of your entire medical history, or as much as you can acquire. Since 1996, you've had the right to request and receive your medical records from current and past medical providers.
In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was passed to ensure that patients had a right to their own data. As the name of the act suggests, the purpose is to ensure that you can migrate to new insurance and healthcare providers with your records intact. DoNotPay can help get your without the hassle of precisely filling out each form.
