Your most popular FAQs

How do I request a client's records from another provider?

Get the client's signed release of information, then send a written request to the provider naming the client, the records and date range you need, the purpose, where to send them and by when. Follow up if you hear nothing in two to three weeks.

What should a medical records request letter include?

The client's full name and date of birth, the records requested and date range, the purpose, a copy of the signed authorization, your practice details and secure delivery instructions, and a requested response date.

What does the Records request job draft?

The request letter, from the details you provide, ready to send. It is a draft for your review; the release of information and the sending are yours.

What if the other provider does not respond?

Follow up in writing after two to three weeks, referencing the original request and its date. Give the Assistant the first letter and it drafts the follow-up.
