Accessing + requesting your medical records
We understand that your medical records are very personal and should be kept confidential. We take this very seriously and follow the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) strictly to ensure that your records are always safe and secure.
Before releasing any documents, you must fill out and sign the Authorization for the Release of Health Information form. This is to make sure that your information is going to the right person. Sometimes, we may also need your physician's approval.
If you ever need to access your medical records, please don't hesitate to make a request. You have the right to access them at any time, and we're here to help. We can provide you with a copy or transfer them to another facility. You can also instantly access recent visit notes and lab and radiology findings in myTuftsMed.
