Offering medical rehab, critical care, and skilled nursing services, Vibra Healthcare hospitals and facilities play a significant role in the recovery of patients. Access to specialized services is available nationwide, and providers can personalize services to meet the specific needs of each patient.
When patients visit a Vibra Healthcare facility, their providers generate new information based on the details of the visit. Information includes new diagnoses, prescribed medications, test results, treatments, surgical procedures, and other vital data.
While this information is crucial for healthcare providers, it’s also beneficial to patients. Accordingly, patients can request their personal medical information from a Vibra Healthcare provider in one of two ways:
Vibra Healthcare requires verification of a person’s identity prior to releasing information. In the event that the person requesting the information is a caregiver or other authorized representative, that person will also be asked to verify their identity, as well as show proof that they’re authorized to receive such information.
Providers generally have up to 60 days to respond to requests for medical records. However, they can request a single 30-day extension if the process takes longer. In this case, the provider must inform you of the delay.
Providers may charge patients a small fee when requesting medical records, but state laws dictate whether the fee is applicable. As a result, patients may not be required to pay the fee if federal laws supersede it.
Patients of Vibra Healthcare are best served by easy, convenient access to personal medical information. This highlights the benefits of digital records storage, which allows patients, their caregivers, and new providers instant access to health information.
With DrOwl, medical records access is possible through personal mobile devices. Our telemedicine app can store information from Vibra Healthcare providers, as well as hospitals and facilities outside of the Vibra network. And as new information is generated, it can be seamlessly added to your digital record. Learn more about this app and its benefits by visiting the website today.
