Abraham Medical Clinic

When it comes to healthcare, Abraham Medical Clinic can be a trusted partner in your health and wellness. However, patients must also be proactive about the treatment they receive, which requires access to personal medical records for greater insight.

Every patient has a right to their own medical records, but accessing information is often easier said than done. With the DrOwl app, patients can enjoy seamless digital access to their personal records using a smartphone or mobile device.

How Can Patients Request Their Medical Records?

HIPAA stipulates that all patients have a right to view and receive copies of their medical records. To ensure patient privacy, Abraham Medical Clinic and other healthcare providers require patients to make their requests using a specific process:

    • Contact the Clinic – You must contact the hospital or clinic that provided care in order to make your request.
    • Fill Out a Form or Draft a Letter – Forms and letters will contain essential information that help the clinic or hospital fulfill your request.
    • Verify Your Identity – You may need to provide a copy of your driver’s license or other type of identification card in order to have the request fulfilled.
    • Pay a Small Fee – Patients can receive copies of their medical records for free in most cases, but some clinics may charge a small fee depending on the circumstances.

     
    While most patients receive their medical records relatively quickly, it can take up to 60 days for the request to be fulfilled. When clinics use patient portals, requests can often be filled much more quickly.
