Request University of Kentucky Medical Records In 3 Steps

If you are moving out of Kentucky, need to submit a copy of a specific medical record for a government program application, or simply want to be diligent about having your own copy of your health information before you need it, you may be wondering if there is a better way to get what you need without wasting time figuring out how to request your University of Kentucky medical records. Requesting medical records or electronic health records can be a complicated process, especially if you want to obtain older records, but choosing DoNotPay can make your life easier. Here's how we can make getting the information you need a bit easier!

HIPAA and Your Rights

Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) you have the right to access your medical records. The record sets you are entitled to access under 45 CFR 164.501 are;

1. Medical records and billing records about individuals maintained by or for a covered health care provider;
2. Enrollment, payment, claims adjudication, and case or medical management record systems maintained by or for a health plan; or
3. Other records that are used, in whole or in part, by or for the covered entity to make decisions about individuals.

This last category includes records that are used to make decisions about you, whether or not the records have been used to make a decision about you.

What Types of Medical Records are Restricted From Being Released?

Under most circumstances, submitting a single release form allows specified medical records to be released to the same individual or third party, whether that is yourself, a family member, a lawyer, or someone else, for a specified period of time. However, not every type of record is covered by this classification.

You will need to explicitly state your consent each time records that certain records that are considered restricted are released. Although other types of treatment can be included under certain circumstances, you can generally expect that restricted records include:

1. Treatment-related to alcohol or drug use
2. Mental health treatment
3. HIV/AIDS treatment
4. Genetic test results or related information

How to Request Medical Records From the University of Kentucky

How to Transfer Medical Records to the University of Kentucky

Does the University of Kentucky Charge for Medical Records?
