You can review your records in the Health Information Management Department under visual supervision. Appropriate photo I.D. is required to maintain patient privacy. There is no cost to inspect your records. Records can be viewed by making at appointment.

Copies of medical records will be available within 15 days after your request and payment of fees are received. Exceptions to this time allowance may occur if the patient was recently discharged or if the record is incomplete or unusually large. Appropriate photo I.D. is required to pick up copies of medical records. If a physician's approval is required prior to release of medical records, additional time may be necessary.
