The Abbey Medical Association provides a number of important healthcare services to residents of Framingham MA. Visits to the clinic are followed by the creation of medical records, which detail what happened during the appointment (such as new diagnoses, prescription medications, etc.).
These medical records are highly informative for patients, but how can you get a copy of your information from the Abbey Medical Association and other healthcare providers? With DrOwl, your complete healthcare history is accessible using an internet-capable mobile device. Accordingly, our telehealth app can help you overcome the common obstacles associated with traditional medical records access.
According to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), patients have a right to their own personal health information. That means that the Abbey Medical Association and similar facilities must provide information to patients as requested in the majority of cases.
While you can rest assured of access to your medical records, the process can be rather complex. For instance, most patients will need to take many of the following steps:
• Contact the medical provider to inform them of your records request
• Complete a form and submit it to the facility
• In absence of a form, draft a letter with pertinent information
• Verify identity with driver’s license or some other form of ID
• Pay a small fee when applicable
State and federal laws dictate how long it takes for a person to receive a copy of their medical information. With digital records, people usually have their requests fulfilled quickly. With paper copies, it can take weeks or even months for information to be provided.
Our innovative telemedicine app offers a digital storage method to house your essential medical records. With DrOwl, users can access information on their medical conditions, medications, allergies, and other data right from the convenience of their mobile devices. We’ve partnered with thousands of providers, which means your account can include information from primary care physicians, specialists, and more.
Of course, that’s not all that DrOwl offers. Users can also access helpful features like:
• Physician-curated resources
• In-app chatting and messaging with healthcare providers
• Medication reminders
• Patient snapshots summarizing your health information
• The ability to add others, such as caregivers, to your account
Along with convenience, DrOwl also has much to offer when it comes to security. Our app is fully HIPAA-compliant, which means you can rest assured that your medical information will remain safe and secure.
