Patients at Ability Rehab Associates rely on skilled doctors and medical professionals for quality care tailored to their needs. A key aspect of this care is the creation of detailed medical reports documenting each visit, forming an essential part of the patient’s healthcare history.
Medical records might not always be top of mind, but they hold vital details about your past and current health conditions, prescriptions, allergies, treatments, and more. Having access to these records can significantly improve your health management. With DrOwl, patients can conveniently access their records anytime, right from a compatible mobile device.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule ensures that individuals have the right to access their medical records in most situations. However, obtaining these records can sometimes involve a complex, multi-step process.
Start by reaching out to Ability Rehab Associates and informing their staff that you’d like a copy of your medical records. They may guide you to an online portal where you can access your information or ask you to complete a digital form to process your request.
If these options are unavailable, you’ll need to write a request letter that includes the following details:
You might also need to provide a copy of your photo ID for identity verification.
Some healthcare facilities may also request the dates of service and a description of the specific medical records you need.
States usually establish specific rules and timelines for fulfilling patient records requests. With digital records, access can often be immediate through an online portal. However, if a clinic or hospital needs to retrieve and send the records, the process could take up to 60 days. Clinics such as Ability Rehab Associates strive to handle requests promptly, but occasional delays may occur.
