How do I arrange to view or to get copies of my medical records?

To view or to get a copy of your medical records, you need to give your doctor a written request.

Generally speaking, all current and former adult patients, minor patients (in some circumstances) , parents of minor patients (with exceptions), patient guardians or conservators, and deceased patients' beneficiaries or personal representatives are entitled to inspect and make copies of the patient's medical record information upon written request and payment of reasonable clerical costs.

Although any written request signed by a person entitled to exercise the patient's right of access is considered sufficient, you may want to use a form for this purpose.
