Requesting Medical Information
In most cases, you may review and obtain a copy of your medical record. There may be a fee for the cost to copy and mail it. Your request must specify how or where you wish to receive your medical record. We will honor all reasonable requests.
You may ask us to correct your record if you think that it is incorrect or that key information is missing. You must put your request in writing and state the reason for your request. We cannot revise your record if the information was not created by us; or is not part of the medical record we maintain; or is not part of the record that you can review or copy; or if we find out that the record is accurate.
You may ask that we communicate medical information about you in a confidential way, such as sending mail to an address other than your home. We will honor all reasonable requests.
You may ask that we not use or disclose a certain part of your information as allowed by this notice unless you sign a consent to release the information. By law, we do not have to accept such a request, but we will seriously consider it and inform you of our decision. Your request must tell us what specific information you want to limit and to whom the limits apply.
You may make any of these request in writing to the LUH Medical Records Department.
