How to Request Your University of Miami Medical Records

It's always a good idea to have a copy of your medical records on-hand. You should especially have them if you plan to see a new doctor or if you're moving to a new city. If you're wondering how to request your medical records, DoNotPay can help.

Do You Have to Pay to Request Your University of Miami Medical Records?

There are a couple of ways to obtain your medical records, and most can be requested without a fee. You can get your University of Miami medical records via:

1. Your MyUHealthChart
2. Contact the appropriate office for paper or USB flash drive copies

If you choose to download your medical records from your MyUHealthChart, then there will be no charge. If you're looking for medical records before 2010, or if you need an entire medical record, you'll need to call the appropriate facility.

If you'd like to have a paper copy or a flash drive made that contains your medical records, you'll need to pay a small fee. USB flash drives are sold at a flat rate of $6.50. Additionally, you will not be charged for a copy of your medical records if they're needed for continuation of care.

Are There Any Restrictions on Requesting Medical Records?

State and federal laws ensure that your medical records are kept private. That means only the patient or an authorized representative can request their medical records. Additionally, authorized medical professionals can access your medical records as well as the court of law, if a subpoena is used.

Children under 12 years of age are considered minors. In these instances, parents can request their minor children's medical records. Once a child is 13, it's generally agreed that they must give permission before their medical records are released.

Legally, your medical records are your private information, and the University of Miami falsely required to give them to you at your request.
