The process of accessing your health records is often challenging and time-consuming, which can deter some individuals from submitting requests to their medical providers. Because this information can empower you to make better decisions about your health, doctors encourage their patients to keep abreast of new health data as it’s created.

DrOwl offers a high-tech solution to this age-old problem. Our innovative healthcare app stores important medical info digitally and enables users to access their entire health history using a mobile device.

How Do I Get My Physician to Share My Medical Records?

According to HIPAA, all patients have the right to access, review, and receive a copy of their personal health information. When a patient formally requests their personal records, providers must fulfill the request within 30 to 60 days (though many people receive their records within a matter of hours or days). Records are usually free, but providers may charge a small fee according to the circumstances.

Medical providers can use a few methods for handling records requests. Some invite patients to join portals, where information is accessed online. Doctors may also ask that patients complete an online form detailing their request. From there, information can be transferred via email or in paper copies sent to the patient’s home.
