Medical Records Request Form [PDF]
Give us permission to speak with your loved ones
To give your family members, caregivers or anyone else coordinating your care permission to talk to your doctor and/or care team about your care (this could also include email communication).
Example: Your spouse, child, or loved one can call and get your appointment schedule or confirm upcoming appointments. You can have multiple listed even though the table only looks like room for two.
Give us permission to share your medical records with others
To have your records given to you, a family member, caregiver or anyone else (insurance company or attorney).
Example: You would like a copy of your most recent imaging report. Or, you would like to send this imaging report to your spouse or another specialist.
Give us permission to get your medical records from another medical office
To give us (Fred Hutch) permission to get your records from other health facilities or doctors’ offices. Some out of state organizations require you to authorize the release of your records to us. This would allow us to gather your records from another doctor’s office.
Example: Records from when you were seen at different doctor in Texas or another state.
You would like to make more than one request
To make multiple requests (to give us permission to talk to, give out or gather protected health information) please submit an individual form for each request.
Example: Your spouse wants to talk to your doctor and get your most recent imaging report. We would need one form for the permission to talk, and a second form to process the request to give records. The second form can always be done at another time when the need presents itself.
How to Request Your Record
There is no charge for records sent to you or your physician. There may be a charge for records sent to insurance companies and other third parties.
In accordance with Washington state law, medical records will be responded to in no more than 15 working days from the receipt of the request, with records needed for emergency care processed in a more timely manner.
